Hi, I understand your query. Postinor is an emergency contraceptive . It has high dose of hormones & taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.It acts by preventing ovulation/ making cervical mucus thick/ not allowing implantation of fertilesed ovum. * You have a delayed period , ? already pregnant ( some times delayed period can be due to cause other than pregnancy - which can be treated& cycles regulated)- so if you take Postinor while pregnant - It can not prevent conception,/ It will not induce abortion. - It will cause fetal malformations, So it is not advocated to take it when pregnancy is proved. Thanks.
