Hi.

I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Postinor 2 : If taken within 24 hours, 95% chance of preventing pregnancy & within 72 hours, 58% chance of preventing  & after 72hrs, results are not sure and not always 100% protective.

I advice you to,
- do serum beta HCG test which is more reliable than HPT, if she didn't get your periods after 3weeks of taking the pill.
- Consult your gynaecologist for further assistance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
