Hello. There's a list of question that I would like to ask. I really really hope you could provide me with the best answer. Your kindness is much appreciated.
1. I have 28 days cycle therefore would most likely to ovulate on day 14. If my period last for 6 days and I have sex on day 8, do you think I am fertile and capable enough to get pregnant?
2. Does the withdrawal bleeding that I got 5 days after taking postinor 2 means it's effective and I won't get pregnant? (It wasn't too heavy but last for 5 days)
3. Should I really count my next period from the first day that I got vaginal bleeding due to postinor 2? (Because my period starts exactly 28 days after the withdrawal bleeding starts)

Hello Anonymous,

A woman is fertile five days before ovulation, which for you would be day 10, and on the day of ovulation.

Withdrawal bleeding after taking Postinor 2 is proof that the pill was effective in preventing pregnancy. Postinor 2 prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. So, you would not become pregnant during that menstrual cycle.

No. Calculate the start date of your next period based on a 28 day menstrual cycle. Changes in the menstrual cycle are a reported side effect. Your next period can start earlier or later than expected. Flow might be lighter or heavier than normal.

Hi,
I had my period on 1st Feb and I had unprotected intercourse (ejaculated outside) on 7th Feb. As a prevention, I took both tablets of Postinor 2 within 1 hour after the intercourse). On 8th Feb, I did feel stomach ache/period pain, sleepy tiredness and headache. And today, I'm having stomach/period pain too. Is it the side effect of Postinor 2? May I know if I'm getting pregnant?
Thank you

Hello Anonymous,

These sound like the side effects of Postinor 2. You will know whether or not the pill worked once you have bleeding. If you do not have any bleeding within three weeks of taking the pill, test for pregnancy.

Hello, I had unprotected sex with my girl and she took p2, 36hours later. She started complaining of lower back pain and sensitive nipples 3 to 4 days later. Could it be pregnancy or side effects.

Hello Anonymous,

No, you will not be able to conceive this menstrual cycle. Postinor 2 prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation.

Hello Anonymous,

The later you take the pill, the more you decrease its effectiveness. All that you can do now is wait for bleeding to happen. Do not take any more pills.
