Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Postinor-1?
Hi doctor I had an unprotected sex with my bf on 19th this month. And get postinor 1 on 20th (before 24 hours) but again we had sex after getting postinor 1 (after 3 hours) and didn t take the tablet again. Normally my period ended on 17th this month. Is it possible to get pregnant?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you had unprotected sex after the use of the postinor then it is possible.
Emergency contraception is very effective though not as effective as the regular use of other forms of contraception.
If your period is delayed, this may be due to the effect of the emergency contraception (can sometimes do this) or due to pregnancy. Pregnancy tests can be done 11 to 14 days after conception so you can do a home test after this point to determine if you have conceived.
I hope this helps
