Hello Nharnah,

Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I am glad you reached out to us with your question if you might be pregnant.

An emergency contraceptive, like Postinor, prevents pregnancy by primarily preventing ovulation. If you took the pill a week before your period was due, ovulation would have already passed.

If you do not have any bleeding within the next week, take a home pregnancy test. For the most accurate result, test in the morning. Use the urine when you first wake up and use the bathroom.

Regards,
Maryann
