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?

Me and my gf had sexual activities on the 22nd , she took P2 the next morning ( 23rd ) and the second dose 12 hours later. On the 28th she started bleeding, she said it was like a normal period flow with cramps and all, it's 30th today and she's still bleeding. What is this, is this a good thing? Are we safe?

hi im rosie.

i had oral sex with my bf, we both are basically virgins. we both were very cautious and careful to not get his semen into me and im pretty sure that there was no way i could be pregnant bc i always had my pants on when i gave him blowjob. he never ejaculated near my pants. but being extra careful, i took postinor 2 2 hours later. after a week, i was bleeding for 4 days. i supposed to have my period today but i haven't. please tell me it was just the effect of the pills and the pills messed up my cycle. or am i possibly pregnant? x

Me and my gf were pleasuring each other, i ejacuated , pee and cleaned up ( my hands are clean from the start to finish ) . 50 mins later, i had my penis out side of her clitorious and i fingered her after ( my hand did not touch my penis ). I was worried about having precum so i gave her P2 the morning after, and the second dose 12 hours after the first one. Will we be safe?

Hello Anonymous,

There was no need for her to take Postinor 2 because you removed all semen and any left after 50 minutes would have dried and any sperm was dead.

Just be aware that an ECP can cause changes in her menstrual cycle. Her next period could start on time, earlier or later than expected. Flow might be lighter or heavier than normal.

The bottom line is you are safe.

Regards,
Maryann

My gf has an irregular menstural cycle her last real period before this one was in december but had spot bleeding in february, she had her period for 8 days and we were playing around on the 12th day. I didn't insert it in but rather touch it around her clit , then fingered and I'm worried i might have precum. 50 minutes prior to that, i had ejacuated, cleaned up and even peed. I gave her P2 pills 18 hours later and the second dose 12 hours after the first one but i'm still worried, what should i do?

Hello Anonymous,

Wait. If she does not have any bleeding within three weeks of taking Postinor 2, then she needs to test for pregnancy.

Her period usually comes very late as she has an iregular menstural cycle, the last one lasted for 8 days. I gave her P2 within 24 hours, please I'm extremely worried and i have no idea how to handle this.

Hello. I took postinor 2 after having sex and he ejaculated in me. Three days after I had sex again And he ejaculated in me again. Do I still need to take postinor 2 again?

Hello Anonymous,

No. Do not take another dose of Postinor 2.

Postinor 2 prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. This lasts for one menstrual cycle.

Postinor 2, like all emergency contraceptives, is intended to be used only in emergency situations. Do not depend on it as a form of regular birth control.

Over use can lead to a decrease in its effectiveness.

Regards,
Maryann
