What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Taking Postinor?
Hi Doctor, My ovulation day (according to period tracker app) is 5th Feb 2017. On that very night, I had sex with my bf but the condom broke. I checked and his cum was in me. Only 10 hours later, I took postinor. What s the chances of me getting pregnant, taking in consideration that I m ovulating? I am still very worried that I ll be pregnant. Does ovulation day means that my eggs are already released? If that s the case, by taking postinor, will it reverse the process and prevent the eggs from going down the Fallopian tube to meet the sperms?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Postinor acts by preventing ovulation. Its failure rate is around 5% to 6%. Once ovulation occurs the effect of postinor is very less, some studies show it inhibits fertilization but evidence is lacking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
