Hello Anonymous,

Postinor 2 is effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. If she had unprotected intercourse on October 13, and took the pill on October 24, that was too late.

She must wait for bleeding or her next period. If she is late or has no bleeding within the next three weeks, your friend needs to take a pregnancy test.

Regards,
Maryann

Im in the same situation.
Im in dire need of answers nyow as im terrified of unwanted pregnancy.

My boyfriend and i had an anal sex last october 15.. He ejaculated outside my anus, and im afraid it was near the vulva. I did some research that says splash pregnancy can happen if smen drips, or migrate from anus to the vagina. I was getting paranoid so i took 1 tab levenorgestrel after 12 hours and another tab after 12 hours. My other concern was that my first day of menstruation was oct 1.

Could i be ovualting during the intercourse (oct 15)? What are the chances of splash conception? And is levonorgestrel effective in my case?

Help me please. Im already losing sleep thinking about these things.

Hello Anonymous,

No, you do not need to take another dose. Postinor 2 prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. It will cover the second time.

Hi, I had sex protected with my friend and then we did it unprotected about 20-30 mins later. He pulled out before he came but I was concerned about sperm from the first ejaculation being in his penis so I took Postinor about 29 hours later. I took the pill on 12th September. So far I've had cramping, been feeling lightheaded and I have been peeing quite a bit (I usually drink a lot of water so that's a reason why). I am concerned because I was fertile when I had sex and I may have ovulated the same day I took the pill or thereafter. My breasts are starting to feel sore as well. My period is due on 27th September but I'm worried that the pill did not work due to my possible ovulation on the same day. Is there a chance that I could be pregnant? I've had cramping everyday since I took it and I keep thinking that it is my period coming.

Hello Anonymous,

Postinor 2 can cause a delay in the start of your next period, but usually not more than five days.

Try to relax. If you do not have any vaginal bleeding or if you do not start your period by October 3, take a pregnancy test.

Regards,
Maryann
