Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Postinor-2 After Intercourse?
Question: My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex at 10pm 31 July. She used postinor 2 at 9pm 1st August and immediately after we had unprotected sex again. She has however used the tablet of postinor at 9am 2nd August. Is she at risk of getting pregnant or should she use another dose?
Brief Answer:
No need to give her another pill
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
There is negligible risk of pregnancy and thus no need to give her another dose.
But in future use ipill only in cases of emergency and not a resort to everytime you indulge in sexual activity as it is hazardous if used too frequently.
It can cause deranged periods and erratic ovulation in next 2-3 cycles and increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Take care in future.
