Is it likely that the Postinor-2 tablet will work, if I took the first one after 48 hours and the other one about 14hours after? I had unprotected sex Saturday morning and took the first tablet Monday around 10:00am (about 49-50hrs)after and the final one was taken about 12:00 am - 1:00am (about 14-15hrs after), so I am not sure if the tablet worked and my menstrual cycle is not back as yet. Did I give the sperm too much time to work?

Answer by Dr Anku Sharma (doctor) on Thu 18, Nov 2010 12:08pm:

Hi there. Your first dose of postinor 2 was in time, the 2nd dose was late by 3 hours. This could effect the efficacy of the emergency contraception. If you are having a delayed period, you must do a urine pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant. Consult a gynaecologist if this is positive or even otherwise. Take care.
