Hello Anonymous,

You are feeling this way because you took Postinor 2 more often than you should have. I don't think you need to fear that you are pregnant.

I have unprotected sex with my GF 5 days after her ovulation period and she took positioner 2 two hours after the sex, am worried about her getting pregnant. Her period starts on 1/10/2016 and we have unprotected sex on 25/10/16.can the positioner 2 still work?

Hello Anonymous,

Postinor 2 prevents pregnancy by delaying or preventing ovulation. If she took it after ovulation, there was no point and the pill would not prevent pregnancy.

However, a released egg can live about 24 hours. So, if the unprotected sex happened five days after ovulation, there is a good chance she did not become pregnant.

Wait for her period. If she is late by at least seven days, she should test for pregnancy. Or, she can use an early response pregnancy test and test about five days before her period due date.

Hi!

So I had unprotected sex but I managed to take Postinor 2 in time. My question is-- if Postinor prevents the egg from leaving the ovaries (that's how it works, right? I saw a video on it) then isn't it already too late if you have sex after your ovulation period? Cause the egg is already out? You only discharge one egg per month so what is the point?

Hello Anonymous,

You are correct. Postinor prevents pregnancy by delaying or preventing ovulation. Indeed, one ovary releases one egg each month. So, if taken after ovulation, Postinor will do nothing to prevent pregnancy. There is no point in taking it after ovulation.

What happens if I have unprotected sex with my GF throughout the day and she starts taking postinor 2 twenty four hours after the last sex session, with it be effective in preventing pregnancy assuming we had like five sessions of unprotected sex?
