Is Pregnancy Possible After Having Unprotected Sex Before Periods?

Hi. I took two pills of postinor2 at once and this was two days after I had unprotected sex. I did this because it was 2 days or so before my period was due and I was frightened I could be pregnant plus I had already had postinor2 earlier in this month.

Hi, thanks for using HCM..
I understand your concern.. Fertile period is 8-18 days in a 28 day cycle.. 2 days prior to period is safe period if your periods are regular. Since you have taken postinor 2 , it reduces the chance of pregnancy by 89%. But it causes some mestrual irregularity like intermenstrual spotting and delayed periods. It always better to a contraceptive measure than repeated use of ECP's. Hope I have answered your queries. Good day.
