Posted on Wed, 31 May 2017
Question: Hi. My 1st day of LMP was 16th Apr and my average cycle length is 29 days. On the 4th of May, my husband and i had unprotected intercourse and i took the 1st dose of Postinor 2 within 6 hours and the 2nd dose after 12 hours as we are not planning a baby yet and want to avoid pregnancy. I am worried because i think i had already ovulated. Will the e pill help to prevent pregnancy?
