View allI'm a bit worried about a recent situation and need some advice. My wife and I had sex on the night of May 19th.

We got concerned because we thought it might have been her fertile window, so she took an emergency contraceptive pill the next morning on May 20th. What are the chances she could still get pregnant given the timing and everything?
