plz I had unprotected sex 2days ago, I took salt and water and then white quinine and I took postino2 10hrs after that, can I still get pregnant?

what if it's in a case where I don't see my ovulation and I didn't take any contraceptive to prevent it, will I get pregnant?

Hello Eze

Thank you for writing!

Quinine is not something that should be taken to avoid pregnancy - it's not safe and won't work. It's a folk remedy primarily used on the content of Africa, including Niger and South Africa. Salt water will not work. What will work is using condoms - you must use them if you want to avoid pregnancy. Don't have sex with any man who refuses to use them, particularly with the huge prevalence of HIV/AIDS (S.A.). You are not just risking pregnancy, you are risking your life.

Taking Postinor 2 will help, however. Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours and up to 90% effective if taken within 72 hours, so the risk is very small. It works by preventing ovulation and stopping a pregnancy from starting. It is not an abortion pill. It prevents a pregnancy, it does not end one. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, dizziness, breast pain, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Some women can bleed a little or quite extensively after taking emergency contraception.
The more frequently they are taken, the more likely a woman is to have side effects and an irregular cycle. They should be taken only for emergencies, not used as a method of birth control.
Symptoms usually start 2-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. Not all women get symptoms. Some get many, or a few, or none. If a woman doesn’t get her next period within a week of it’s expected date, a pregnancy test may be necessary although the risk is very low. Periods can often be delayed or longer/shorter as a result of taking emergency contraception. We cannot predict this for our readers in terms of length of delays. Each woman is different. Periods should get back to normal by the second cycle after.
Best,
