Took Postpone 72 After Having Unprotected Sex. Is There Any Chances Of Pregnancy?
Question: Hello Sir my girlfriend had her periods on September 29th till the 4rd of October and we had unprotected sex on October 18th and immediately took postpone 72. She experienced some slight beading that night and the next day. This is the first time we did it. Please advice will the pill will work.. if not how soon can we know if shes pregnant..? any signs that will show shes pregnant..? When will her next periods be expected..? She was feeling very tired today that's on the 25th no other symptoms. Please advice.
On the other side I am not sure i ejaculated inside her. If the postpone 72 was taken just for precaution, how long will her next periods take to come..? will there be any side effects..?
Please advise Doctor.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX Forum.
* Firstly, Postpone72 will prevent pregnancy. Its efficacy is almost 99%.
* Postpone 72 contains high doses of hormones, which cause transient imbalance of female hormonal levels. It takes a few days for restoration of hormonal balance. Hence, the next period may come either on time or, be delayed by a couple of days.
* If the next period gets delayed by more than a week, get her pregnancy test done, though chances of pregnancy are negligible.
* Frequent use of the drug is bound to have side effects and also cause disturbance of menstrual cycles.
* You had an unprotected sex during the UNSAFE DAYS. Ovulation usually occurs 14 days prior to the schedule date of next cycle. In other words, if the female has periods at regular interval of 28 days, Day 14 from the onset of previous cycle is the MOST UNSAFE PERIOD, when ovulation takes place and the ova is in the uterus, waiting for fertilization. Ova does not survive beyond 48 hours. SO, REMEMBER THE THUMB RULE : DAY 12 TO DAY 16 ( from the first day of the previous period , is UNSAFE PERIOD.
* Take due precautions in future: use a condom or, better still, avoid sex during unsafe period. Avoidable misuse of drugs like Postpone72 can only affect your friend's health.
Hope I have answered your query.

Hi XXXXXXX
Nice hearing from you.
A single dose of postpone 72, causes ONLY A TRANSIENT de-regulation of female hormones in the body. It's effect wanes off very soon, leading to NORMALIZATION of hormonal balance which ensures regular & normal periods.
So, please QUIT worrying : Your gf will continue to have REGULAR & NORMAL PERIODS. There will be no problems in future.
Lastly, I hope that you will my advice- rendered earlier.

Brief Answer:
Take pregnancy test around mid-November
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Nice hearing from you.
* Firstly, it is perfectly NORMAL to have a good flow on the first day.
* Further, since your gf had taken Postpone72 well within the effective period and is now having a NORMAL period, the chances of pregnancy are practically ruled out.
However, if she wants to be completely satisfied, she can go in for Pregnancy Test around mid-November (that is, around 6 weeks after her last (29 Sept - 04 Oct) period).
Hope I have been able to reassure you. I will be happy to answer further clarifications, if any.
Have a good health
