Quick answer
Pregnancy is possible. I cannot calculate an exact percentage because it depends on when the sex occurred in your menstrual cycle, when each pill was taken, and which “i-pill” you used.
Key points:
- Norethisterone taken for 10 days is not reliable contraception. It is often used to delay periods or treat bleeding, but it does not protect you from pregnancy from unprotected sex.
- An i-pill/emergency contraceptive pill does not protect sex that happens after you take it. It may reduce the risk from sex before it was taken, especially if taken quickly, but it is not a regular contraceptive method.
- Taking emergency pills repeatedly in one cycle can cause spotting, delayed/early periods, nausea, and cycle disruption, so bleeding or a missed period alone is not reliable for knowing whether you are pregnant.
- If you had ejaculation inside the vagina 9 times, the overall risk can be meaningful, especially if any sex occurred near ovulation or after the most recent emergency pill.
What to do now
- If your most recent unprotected sex was within the last 5 days, contact a gynecologist or sexual-health clinic urgently to ask about a copper IUD, the most effective emergency contraception.
- Take a home urine pregnancy test 21 days after the most recent unprotected sex, or sooner if your period is more than 7 days late. If negative but you still have no normal period, repeat it in 1 week.
- Use condoms or avoid vaginal sex until you start a reliable ongoing contraceptive method.
- Seek urgent care for severe one-sided lower abdominal pain, fainting/dizziness, shoulder-tip pain, or heavy bleeding, particularly with a positive pregnancy test, because these can be warning signs of ectopic pregnancy.
Emergency contraception pills reduce risk but are not 100% effective. WHO notes that a copper IUD placed within 5 days is over 99% effective, while emergency contraceptive pills have a small failure rate and work best as early as possible.
It was like I had sex three times in one day, and three times there was impregnation. And within 24 hours of that, I took the I-pill. This happened for three days. And the last time I had unprotected sex, immediately after that, I took an I-pill again. Will this scenario make the chances to the pregnancy?

Quick answer
Taking an i-pill within 24 hours, and immediately after the last sex, does lower the chance of pregnancy from those acts of sex. Taking it sooner is better.
But it does not make the chance zero, and repeated unprotected sex over several days still creates a real pregnancy risk because:
- One i-pill is emergency contraception, not reliable ongoing protection for the whole cycle.
- It mainly works by delaying ovulation. If ovulation had already happened, it may not work.
- The pill you took after sex on day 1 may not reliably cover sex on days 2 and 3.
- Taking multiple i-pills can disrupt bleeding and periods, but it is not known to harm an existing pregnancy.
So: your risk is reduced because you took each i-pill quickly, but pregnancy is still possible. No one can give a reliable percentage without knowing your cycle dates and the exact medication.
What to do
- If the last unprotected sex was within 5 days, urgently contact a gynecologist or family-planning clinic about a copper IUD for emergency contraception. It is the most effective option.
- Take a urine pregnancy test 21 days after the last unprotected sex, even if you have spotting or unusual bleeding. If it is negative but your period does not come normally, repeat it 1 week later.
- Do not keep relying on i-pills. Start a regular method such as condoms plus a regular contraceptive pill, implant, injection, or IUD. Use condoms now for both pregnancy and STI protection.
- Get urgent medical care if you have a positive test plus severe one-sided lower abdominal pain, fainting/dizziness, shoulder pain, or heavy bleeding.
Norethisterone should not be counted as pregnancy protection in this situation.
