Hi,

If you have taken Postinor 2 as recommended then you shouldn't be pregnant. The first tablet of Postinor 2 should be taken exactly 12 hours of unprotected intercourse and not later than 72 hours. The second tablet should be taken 12 hours after the second tablet. If you have made some mistake in taking the medications then the risk of getting pregnant is there.

Contact your gynecologist if you are not getting your periods or do a pregnancy test with the first midstream urine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
