Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Postinor After Unprotected Intercourse?
I and my girlfriend had sex for two days without using a condom.,... Few hours after having sex on day 2,.. She took a postinor 1 pill. And as at this time, .. She fears she has already ovulated. Please what are her chances of getting pregnant.... We really dont want that.
If your partner took Postinor 1 pill within 72 hours of unprotected sex then it will be effective & she is not at the risk of getting pregnant. Postinor 1 is a one time emergency contraceptive pill. Sine you had unprotected intercourse twice and outside 72 hours then she may be at risk of getting pregnant.
If she misses periods then she should do a pregnancy test with the first morning mid stream urine. She can also get a blood test for pregnancy (HCG) done to detect pregnancy. She can get clinically examined by a gynecologist and get USG (uterus and fallopian tube) done. She will be managed accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
