Is Pregnancy Possible After Taking Postinor-2 Twice Post Intercourse?

Question: Hi Doc. I'm 36yrs old, 1.7m tall & 89kg. My last menstrual cycle was 25th August and was for 5 days. I had unprotected sex on the night of 1st September. I took the first Postinor 2 pill 11 hrs after (10am on 2nd Sept) and the second dose 18 hours after the first (5am on the 3rd Sept). Is this effective? Do i need to repeat this dosage? What else can i do asides hope i'm not pregnant? Thanks
Brief Answer:
It is effective, no need to repeat dosage.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Yes it is quite effective.
First of all you had sex at a time when you are not likely to be ovulating.
Plus you have taken Postinor well in time.
Repeating the dosage will lead to more side effects and it will not add to effectiveness of the pill.
All the best.
