Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Postinor-2?
Question: i had unprotected sex on Saturday then i took postinor 2 on Tuesday, this was within the 72 hours time frame, then after taking my second pill i had unprotected sex again that same day after taking the pill within less than an hour but my boyfriend ejaculated inside me, can i get pregnant?
Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy are less than 5%.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If you have taken Postinor 2 within 72 hours of having an unprotected sex then the chances of pregnancy are less than 5%. The repeat sex that you had within one hour of taking the pill is not likely to cause pregnancy. After taking Postinor 2, you are considered safe against pregnancy for next 24 hours.
It is best to wait for your next periods. These may be delayed by a week due to the effect of the pill. In case the delay ios more than a week then do a urine test to rule out pregnancy.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
