Three days ago, I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend who is 22 yrs old. Both of us are virgins. While having sex, i did not go deep inside her but slightly inserted inside, she did not bleed while having sex , which shows that i didn’t even break the tightness. But i was rubbing my penis on her vagina and I was careful while finishing by ejaculating outside her vagina… Her period should have happened yesterday, but didn’t. I worried that she would become pregnant so I suggested that she take iPill . She took it roughly 50 hrs after sex, i.e. with in 72 hrs of our sex. She had a little white bleed and has tiredness, back pain …but her period is still delayed …. plz help me, we both are scared about it …. is there any chances of pregnancy & does iPill work at this stage? Plzzz plzzz plzz answer my question.

I’d say her chance of being pregnant is very low, but I urge you two to visit a family planning clinic (Planned Parenthood or another in your area) and commit to using pre-sex contraception every time.
You say you didn’t insert deeply and she didn’t bleed, which proves that you did not tear her hymen. Sorry, but the fact that she didn’t bleed proves nothing. It’s a total myth that the thin membrane that partly covers the vagina, the hymen, gets torn and bleeds during first intercourse. The vast majority of women wear their hymens away during ordinary childhood activities and don’t bleed on first intercourse. (In cultures where newlyweds must produce a bloody sheet to “prove” the woman was a virgin, the women typically sharpen a fingernail and cut their inner thighs to produce the blood.)
You say you ejaculated outside of her vagina. That definitely minimizes her chance of pregnancy, but unfortunately does not eliminate it. It’s possible for sperm to leave the penis before ejaculation, so you may have released some before you withdrew from her.
You say her period is late, which makes you think she might be pregnant. Yes, when women become pregnant, they stop having periods until after delivery. But there are many other reasons why periods might be late. One is anxiety—and I bet your girlfriend has been anxious about the possibility that she’s pregnant. In addition, few women have periods like clockwork. Many periods naturally arrive a day or two early or late. So at this stage, her lateness doesn’t prove anything.
You say she had “a little white bleed.” That’s not blood. That’s normal vaginal discharge, a mixture of mucus and intercellular fluid, that is the vagina’s natural cleansing mechanism.
So you urged her to take the iPill. Very good. That’s an appropriate use of emergency contraception. The iPill and other emergency contraceptives (Plan B) contain female hormones that prevent implantation of fertilized eggs in the uterine wall. No implantation, no pregnancy.
So because you pulled out before ejaculating, she’s at low risk of pregnancy. And because she took iPill, her risk is even lower, near zero. But there’s still a tiny chance that she might be pregnant, which is why I urge you to accompany her to a family planning clinic for a pregnancy test. And while you’re there, ask a counselor about all the birth control methods. Weight their pros and cons. Select the one that feels best for you. And then use it properly and consistently from now on. Emergency contraceptives are best used just once and then never again.
Take her to a family planning clinic asap and commit to using a pre-sex, non-emergency method from now on.
