What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy With Protected Sex?
Question: hello doc.. my last period started XXXXXXX 2, 2014. my cycle is irregular (27-40) days. i had sex XXXXXXX 27 evening and took postinor 2 28th XXXXXXX 1am and took the second dose accordingly..im scared that if my cycle falls to 40 days i might have been ovulating that day i had the act. although we used condoms ( he went inside me once without it but didnt release). until now i havent had my period. i tested today july 5 which turned negative and i dont have any symptoms.. do you think its too early for me to test? ( i dont want to get pregnant right now).. would the postinor delay my period and is it effective if i had taken it after ovulation?
thanks looking forward for your answer.

Brief Answer:
POSTINOR CAN DELAY PERIOD, RE TEST AFTER A WEEK.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Assuming that you did conceive on 27th of XXXXXXX it is too early to test right now.
You should retest after a week, if you do not menstruate by then.
Postinor does affect the menstrual cycle, and in your case it was already irregular.
It can prepone or postpone your expected period by a week, maybe more.
ANd Postinor is not effective if taken after ovulation.
All the best
