Neil 72 works in a similar way to prevent pregnancy. Neil 72 will not affect an existing pregnancy.

Your regular birth control failed (your partner's condom broke or slipped)
You made a mistake with your regular method (you forgot to take your birth control pills)
You didn't use any birth control method
