What Causes Pregnancy Despite Taking Postinor-2 After Unprotected Intercourse?

I had unprotected sex on the 11th of January, I took postino 2 correctly that day, and had some bleeding between 18th and 25th January. Then I had unprotected sex again on the 27th of January and took postino2 correctly the next day but now I m pregnant. Why did the postino fail?

Hi,

The emergency contraceptive pill effective in preventing pregnancy up to 95-96%.

It is not 100% effective although used correctly and taken within 48 hours.

So because of its failure, you are pregnant.

If you want to terminate than consult gynecologist for abortion with Mifepristone and Misoprostol.

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