Can I Get Pregnant If I Took Postinor After Having Unprotected Sex?

I took prostinor approximately 9 days ago and I had unprotected sex three days ago as well. It is now 24 days after my last period, can I get pregnant from my last encounter? Please bear in mind that I did not take the pills for the unprotected sex that happened three days ago.

hello,

Yes, you can be pregnant from last sexual encounter if you did sex during your fertile days.

Postinor or other emergency pill gives protection for next 72 to 120 hrs (max) and not after that. In your case, previous consumption of Postinor is not effective for protection in recent sexual encounter.
