What Causes Diarrhea After Taking Postinor 2?
Hi, I had unprotected sex 2nights ago and took the first postinor 2 tablet about 12hours later. It may have been on my ovulation day or the day after. Well after the second tablet another 12 hours later I started to have diarrhea. Please is this related to the pill? Does it mean the pill didn t work? Do i need to take another one? How long does it take for fertilization to take place? Could I be pregnant?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is very unlikely that you will get diarrhea with these pills. It can be stomach upset due to unhygienic food or water. If it is food poisoning then you will also get nausea, vomiting and/or fever with diarrhea.
For confirmation of pregnancy, you can do urinary pregnancy test or better consult a gynecologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
