Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Postinor-2 After Having Unsafe Sex?
I had sex with my bf (protected) but he put it in without condom once tho he didn t ejaculate. So I got worried and drank a postinor 2(first tablet) and after about 4 hours we had sex again but unprotected and he used the pull out method which was why I drank the other postinor 2.IIs there still chances of me getting pregnant?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
No chances of pregnancy are very less after intake of postinor 2 following unprotected intercourse. Actually postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill & prevents pregnancy by inhibiting implantation of fertilized egg on to uterus. An emergency contraceptive is 95% effective, if it is taken within 24 hours of sex.
As you have taken postinor 2 within 24 hours of sexual intercourse, you should relax now. There are only 5% chances of pregnancy in you. Your next periods may also be delayed due to action of postinor 2.
An emergency contraceptive like postinor 2 should not be used as regular method of contraception. Regular intake of emergency contraceptive pill could cause irregular & delayed periods, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & other harmful effects including infertility. Next time use regular contraceptive pill or condoms for prevention of unwanted pregnancy.
Refer to your gynaecologist
Hope this information helps

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.
As a physician I would like to tell you that you have taken the pills within 12 hours of the unprotected intercourse and you need not to worry about a thing of getting pregnant. You are absolutely safe.
I would also suggest that you should use a regular contraceptive like OC Pills or condoms and use Postinor 2 contraceptive only in absolute emergency as they contain high levels of hormones which may affect your body.
Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.
Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
