What Are The Chances Of Getting Pregnant Despite Of Postpone-72 Use?
Hi Doc, We had unprotected sex on 28th of March and on 29th She had a postpone-72. After 10 days i.e. on 7th April She started having periods for 5 days (i.e. till 12th April) due to postpone-72. We had unprotected sex on the 12th May and I did not ejaculate. Her normal period cycle is 28 days. She got her periods on 8th May and she said it was fibrous and the periods was not regular. She is complaining of fever, vomiting and tiredness. Are these the sideeffects of Postpone-72 or she could be pregnant??

Hi,
How are you doing ?
Postpone 72 is high dose of Progestrone hormone , this is the same hormone which is released in pregnancy in high doses. So both after taking the emergency contraceptive pills & after pregnancy you may have the same symptoms.
Postpone 72 will suddenly increase the thickness of the inner lining of uterus, which will fall off in 7-10 days , but may not fall off fully, they can keep coming as discharge or threads like or string like . But this medicine will alter your hormone balance for next few cycles. It is very effective , but not advisable to take it repeatedly in same cycle , as you won't know which is periods & which is post pill bleeding. Only way to know if pregnant is to have early morning Urine pregnancy test, or better Serum Beta HCG ( Blood test)
From your history you don't sound to be pregnant, but if doubtful have the test done
Hope I have clarified your query, do write back if any more queries
All the best
