QUESTION: after taking postinor is it ok for me to start a course of contraseptives to ensure i dont get pregnant ? and if i took the last tablet of postinor at 7 am on the 10.09.2010 is it wise for me to start a course of contraceptives on the 11.09.2010 ? and if its wise how am i supposed to take the pills and till what date can i continue taking the pills ?

ANSWER: Dear Pricila,

I'm a little confused about your question. Are you saying that you had sex and are worried about being pregnant? Are you using the contraceptives as a medical abortion?

I don't recommend a medical abortion as it could be dangerous to your health. So email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk about this more. Maybe you can explain more about your situation so that I can understand.

Thanks.

Answer
Hi Pricila,

I see now that postinor is taken to prevent a pregnancy. I would suggest that you talk to your doctor about this and the interaction. I'm sorry but I am not a medical professional. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com because I would like to talk to you further.
