I have a question id like to ask to.....i had sex with my boyfriend and i took postinor two day later, but i was advised by a friend to take it with andrew liver salt so it'll fasten the whole process seeing that i was worried it was late. Later thankfully i saw my period on the 10th of September, which was a few days earlier then my normal period, but the problem is that since then i haven't seen my period again!!! i have been worried sick because this is about the 37th day.... is it because i had already taken postinor more than twice in a month? help me please

Hello!
As long as you got your period, you're not pregnant. The second period after can be delayed due to the large dose of hormones contained in emergency contraception. You're period should be along in the next couple of weeks. A pregnancy test will ease your mind if you feel like you're still worried. Sometimes seeing a result in front of you can help.

Hello, Anon,
Postinor 2 can cause irregularity, a women's period may be lighter, heavier, early or late. This is not uncommon. It's unlikely she is pregnant if she is bleeding. However, a pregnancy test can be taken so her mind is at ease. The information that comes with the medication should be read so you know what to expect.

Hello, Anon.
We cannot predict pregnancies. P2 should only be used for emergencies and is about 95% effective when taken within 24 hours. There can be side effects such as a late or missed next period so be aware of this. Read the information that comes with pills so you know what to expect.

Hi please help out I had sex while the condom broke and I'm expecting my period in two days now, can I take postinor 2 ?

Hello, Anon.
The likelihood of getting pregnant 2 days before your period is extremely low as it's fairly safe to say that your ovulation has already occurred.
If you decide to take ECP, read the information that comes with the pills so you know what to expect.

Long post alert! [sorry :)]
November 13, 2018 - 6:03amI thought i should come back here and share about my experience with postinor 2 as it may help someone. I know i needed help after taking it for the first time last month. In my case, i had unprotected sex on day 5 of my circle(14th Oct-right after my bleeding stopped). My boyfriend went all the way. [At the heat of the moment]. Out of concern that i might get pregnant, which my bf and I aren't quite ready for, we decided that I take postinor 2. The following day, after about 20 hours i took the 1st pill, then the second pill after 12 hours. Three days later, I experienced some light bleeding, which got a bit heavy on the following day. The bleeding lasted about 4 days. My next periods were due on 5th Nov. By 3rd Nov, i was experiencing cramping, my breasts were sore, i felt nauseated constantly (esp in the morning) and i believed that i was pregnant. To make matters worse, i missed my periods on 5th. That was the beginning of panics. For the next 6 days, my periods were still no show and i was all over the internet looking for explanations and some form of assurance. On day 7 (12th Nov), i decided to take a urine test. It showed i was negative. I think this made me a bit relaxed. So, today, knock! knock! My periods are back. So, for those of you out there panicking because you missed your periods after the pill, i'd advice you calm down. Just wait, and take a test soon as you can. I believe the bleeding after taking the EC pills messed with my normal periods. Good luck.
