Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the chance for avoiding pregnancy lies within 72 hours of unprotected sex with postinor 2 and first dose need to be taken within 12 hours.There are other method like mifepristone but it should be taken after consultation with a doctor.And the last option is waiting till the period and if it is missed a urine pregnancy test is done after a week of missed period and if it is positive then it can be terminated medically within 6-7 weeks and surgically later on.
