After I took postinor 2 will the sperm still survive in my body? Or it will flow out through my bleeding?

Answered by Dr. Aarti Abraham (2 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
EXPLAINED

Detailed Answer:
For fertilization to occur, sperm needs only a few minutes inside the female genital tract.
Postinor 2 is more than 95 % effective in preventing a pregnancy if taken before ovulation.
Sperm cannot flow out with the bleeding.
ONce intercourse occurs, sperm can ascend the cervix within minutes, and the rest is washed out immediately.
Take care.

Printed report i only own one during my first trismester screening which is on 28 december 2012. I hope this is useful for you

Answered by Dr. Aarti Abraham (11 hours later)

Brief Answer:
EX NOT LIKELY TO BE THE FATHER

Detailed Answer:
Based on this scan report, it is most likely that you conceived in October, and the father is your husband.
If you had conceived on 30th of August ( less likely given that you just finished your period and also took Postinor ), the baby would have measured 4 weeks more ( that is around 16 weeks and 6 days ) on the 28th of December, instead of 12 weeks and 6 days.
In my opinion, it is not possible for your ex to be the father of the child.
OF course, 100 % conclusivity can be provided only by DNA testing.
Take care.
Hope this reassures you.
