A member asked:

Can i get pregnant 5 weeks postpartum after taking postinor 2. note no period yet. ?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

That is possible: BUT - your period may be delayed if it hasn't restarted, if you are breastfeeding or as a side effect of the emergency contraceptive. Would recommend taking a home pregnancy test.

Dr Anyanwu and another doctor agreed
