I had sex with my bf on the 19th October ,exactly 2 weeks after my period and the condom broke. I took Postinor 2 within 12 hours of the broken condom and i didnt have sex since.The Postinor 2 pill did not bring my period but i am getting slight stomach cramps. Is there any possible chance i can still become pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

You will know if Postinor 2 was effective in preventing pregnancy once you have vaginal bleeding. If you have no bleeding within three weeks of taking the pill, test for pregnancy.

Hello Anonymous,

No. Postinor 2 prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. This lasts for one menstrual cycle.

Hi...July 3, 2017 my period came to an end. I had sex on that day, started a box of Yasmin tablet and took the Postinor 2 tablet. On the 9th of July, I was suffering with an yeast infection and took mycosyst. On the 10th of July, I had sex and took Postinor 2 tablets. The next day my yeast infection flare up and I got suppositories. I took one. I am wondering if the yeast infection medication disrupted the birth control pills and Postinor tablets. Am I pregnant? Thanks

Hello Anonymous,

If you had sex on the same day your period ended, there was no risk for pregnancy.

You were taking Yasmin and there was no need to take Postinor 2.

You should never take an emergency contraceptive more than one in a one month period of time.

I doubt you are pregnant.

A yeast infection is a fungal infection and treated with antifungal medications. Antibiotics will decrease the efficiency of birth control pills but I do not think an antifungal does.

I had unprotected sex last Friday. I took one pill of Postinor during evening and another one before I sleep. But after 5 days of having Postinor, I still haven't gotten my period. I am so scared and nervous. Its not yet 2 weeks so I couldn't have my preganancy test. Does having Postinor before I sleep making it ineffective? Or am I just being paranoid? I should be getting my period by now :(

I had unprotected sex with my bf several times starting from evening of 19th June to evening of 22nd June. Then I had prostino 1 tablet last evening (22nd June.) 3 hours after the tablet i had unprotected sex again. My last menstrual bleeding was on 3rd June. From now onwards we decided to use condoms. Please advise me whether I was protected from my last unprotected sex, 3 hours after taking prostino 1. Thanks

Hello. On Sunday I got a bit intoxicated and attempted sex. I was/am a virgin, not sure if I lost my virginity in the process (hymen broke because no pain, no blood). He kept on trying to get in but apparently my vagina was too closed up (was wearing a condom but not all through as I was supposed to be leaving but I didn't). So right now, im not entirely sure if I'm still a virgin or not. My inner thighs hurt a lot. Decided to take postinor 2 just be extra careful yesterday (Monday), which was under 24 hours but the problem is my period was supposed to arrive yesterday (Monday) but it still hasn't. He didnt cum, or i don't think excrete anything at all, although I'm not entirely sure. Im just extremely worried. Should I wait till the end of the week for my period?
