Can A Delayed Period Despite Taking Postinor 2 After Intercourse Indicate Pregnancy?

Hi, doctor I had sex on my fertile period in the evening around 6pm and I took postinor 2 the next day in the morning, had sex again the next day and I took postinor 2 immediately after sex. But am scared I might be pregnant cos my period is being delayed by 1 day. Could this be I might be pregnant?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Both times you took postinor 2 with in 24 hours.
It is highly effective in preventing pregnancy around 95%.
So it has 0-5% failure rate in your case.
But high chance of hormonal imbalance as you took twice with in short period.
Pill itself cause delay in period by 1-2 weeks.
Just one day delay in period does not indicate pregnancy.
Wait for period to come.
If period will delay by more than 2 weeks then consult gynecologist and undergo urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy.
Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you

Best regards
Dr. Sagar
