Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Please I had unprotected sex with my gf, the next day she took postnor 2 the first tablet by 12pm after which later in the night we had unprotective sex. By 12am she took the second pill. After 3 days she bleeded for four days( just like her period)....she s is now having the feeling of being pregnant could it be possible? I need help
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill. The dose as prescribed needs to be taken within 72 hours after having unprotected intercourse. In your partner's case, what dose she has taken seems to be right. The pill would prevent pregnancy by causing breakthrough bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of intake of the first dose of pill. Since she has got the periods in the form of breakthrough bleeding following intake of pill, pregnancy seems to be unlikely. Some of the symptoms she could be experiencing could be due to side effects of the pill and it should eventually subside. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
