Hi, I had unprotected sex on 28/9 night. My partner withdrew before he came but he's afraid that there might be some semen inside my vagina. So the next day i bought the Postinor 2 and pop in the 1st pill at 12pm. I'm suppose to take the pill at 12am (which is 12 hours later) but i've forgotten to take it. I woke up the other day (29/9) and took the pill at 10am. And i was in my fertile week during that time. Is there chances of me getting pregnant? I know that the pill will sometimes quicken the period but till now i do not have any sign of it yet. Please help :(

Hello Anon
Five hours late is ok - I hope you took the medication.
Best,

Hi,
I had unprotected sex abt 3weeks ago, on the 4th of May and after about 10 minutes I took both postinor pills at the same time, as I do always.
I have been keeping those pills in my handbag for about 8-9 months if am not mistaken. I always trust taking them because I've always been using them.
But surprisingly I was supposed to get my period 6days ago but I haven't. Am experiencing headaches and a bit of dizziness, could it be side effects of the pill because I havent taken it in a long tym? Or the fact that the pill has been in my bag for so long and maybe it had holes somewhere, cause expiry date was stated 2018, so pregnancy? I have only been late by 8days once and I had serious cravings and fatigue but I wasn't pregnant. Am quite scared although my breasts are still okay, no lumb in my stomach, a bit of cramps, mood swings and irritation.
Am scared of getting a test yet although I know the sooner the better but can I hear what you people think first so I can know what to expect at least.

I had unprotected sex on the 29th of April and it was my first. I lost my virginity that day I am scared of being pregnant. But my partner assured me that he didn't cum inside of me and he insisted that I don't take anything but I still took postinor 2 on the 1st of may by 12 noon and was meant to take the second tablet at 12 midnight but I slept off and I forgot and when I woke up, it was passed 16 hours and prescription adviced that I don't take the second tablet after 16 hours as it won't work. But I am still scared. Hope I am not pregnant? What do I do again

The same thing happened to me today I was suppose to wake up at 11pm lastnight to get the 2nd pill but I slept through so I just had the other and it's 7am. Did it work for you? I'm a bit worried
