Hi,
I have read your query & understood your concern.
Postpone 72 is an emergency contraceptive which prevents pregnancy, when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. Earlier the pills are taken. better is contraception.
If the pill is consumed immediately after unprotected sex, the protection is nearly 95% but this reduces with late consumption of pill.
Postpone 72 tends to cause a temporary disturbance in menses & it's not known to cause any problem in future pregnancy.
Thanks.
