General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill. It needs to be taken in 2 doses of 12 hours apart within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
What you have done is right by taking the pill by 1 hour.
To be protected from pregnancy, you need to get her breakthrough bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of intake of the pill. Some of them might experience vaginal spotting and itching sensation a couple of days before breakthrough bleeding happens. Kindly keep your genital hygiene in good condition.
In case you do not bleed by 3 weeks, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
