Q: if i take postinor before i ovulate how long does it delay the ovulation?

: Postinor is an emergency contraceptive pill containing an progesterone hormone. Taken within 24 hours it is 95% effective in preventing pregnancy. Depending on where you are in your cycle, the hormone may prevent or delay ovulation or may interfere with the transport of egg/sperm. It is not possible to calculate/guess how long your specific ovulation will be delayed.
