Hi. Yes pregnancy is possible even after taking Postinor tablets. Usually Postinor tablets have no effect on pregnancy.

Although Postinor is a very effective emergency contraceptive pill but it might fail in a very small number of cases. Secondly withdrawal is not a very effective method for avoiding pregnancy. In your case failure of withdrawal method is more likely the cause of pregnancy.

Regarding your other query, research has not demonstrated any adverse effects of Postinor on pregnancy or health of fetus.

Hope all your questions are answered. I will be glad to answer any further questions. Regards.
