Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
Please note that

Postinor pil, is a two tablet containing 1.5 mg of synthetic progestin, Levonorgestrel.
It is intended for the following uses:

1. Unplanned intercourse in couples that are steady or married;
2. Failed measures of contraception
3. In sexual abuse, rape or incest;

For this emergency contraception to be effective, it is necessary to take one 1.5 mg pill of Levonorgestrel on a single day and within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
Best results are seen when Unwanted 72 is taken quickly, within 72 hours of an event, as it takes 72 hours after fertilization for a woman’s body to produce a pregnancy. The level of protection provided by Unwanted 72 is as follows:

If taken
- within 24 hours – up to 95% effective
- within 24 to 48 hours – 85% effective
- within 48 to 72 hours – 58% effective

If a woman should vomit after taking Unwanted 72, it is recommended to repeat the one time dose for effectiveness in pregnancy prevention under the direction of a healthcare provider.
So it may be ineffective in 5%.

So please check pregnancy test:
1. Blood HCG level today only. It is very sensitive.
2. Urine pregnancy tset: after 7- 8 days

If pregnancy test is positive and you do not want
You can use pregout abortion kit: it contain five tablet-Mifepristone 600 mg (One tablet) take orally.
After 24 hr of oral tablet, put four tablet of misoprostol in to vagina.
With in half an hour of punting tablet in to vagiana , bleeding will come out and that is conception product/embryo.

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
