Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Postinor 1 After Intercourse?
hi, my period is 28th every month, and I have sex on the 16th this month, the condom was broken...so I had Postinor 1 within 2 hours, but I also ate other things before and after I had it. So how much rate of the pregnancy？ if I am pregnancy, is there any other medicines I can have to stop pregnancy?

hi,
taking emergency contraceptive pill like postinor1 within 72 hrs is usually effective in most people to prevent pregnancy. but as all contraceptives have a failure rate, there is a negligible chance that you can get pregnant.
we cannot surely confirm right now, if you donot get your period around 28, kindly do a urine pregnancy test to confirm pregancy.
for now, you have done the best possible thing to prevent pregnancy in your case.
hope i have answered your query. have a nice day
