Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Postinor After Intercourse?
Hi. I had intercourse on the 23rd of July, I took positnor morning after pill right away as prescribed. My ovulation period was high about 15-20 of July. Is postinor effective after ovulation? Can I still get pregnant? My period is due between Aug 1&2, I feel the sensatio that my period is coming but I am also feeling pain on the left side of my lower tummy.
Although this is not very likely, it is, however, possible that pregnancy occurs so you had one risky intercourse and if this happened during your ovulation period it is possible that pregnancy occurs, but considering your description of it, this risk is minor. To be sure you should do a pregnancy test which can be done when the period is missed or 8 days after the targeted intercourse so at this point it would be accurate enough to detect possible pregnancy. Standard urine test would be enough for it since this is almost 99% accurate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
