Does Intercourse After Taking Postinor 1 Lead To Pregnancy?

Hi, I had got a condom problem during intercourse while I was in my fertile period. Well, at least, I did the ovulation test and it was positive. I drank postinor 1, 10 hours after. If I have sex after taking the postinor, will I still get pregnant? Or did postinor flush away the egg for this month?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I can understand your concern. As you have taken emergency contraceptive pill within 10 hours of unprotected intercourse, you can expect around 95% success rate. Usually after taking emergency contraceptive pill you can expect protection for 24 hrs after taking the pill also. So, according to your description the possibility of pregnancy is less. But as rarely emergency contraceptive pill can fail, if you miss your expected date of periods, better to go for urine pregnancy test once. I will be happy to answer any further questions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
