Referencing NPS MEDICINEWISE, "If you vomit within 2 hours of taking either of the tablets you should return to your pharmacy, doctor or clinic as the tablet may not be absorbed and you will need to take an additional tablet."
taylow18, please speak with your physician or a pharmacist Since you vomited three hours after taking the first pill but took the second pill without vomiting, I am not certain if the pill was effective.
Also, Postinor 2 contains a high dose of levonorgestrel, which is synthetic form of progesterone.
Normally, in the menstrual cycle, progesterone levels drop to trigger your period to start. Taking Postinor 2 upped your progesterone level, and this might explain why your period is late to start.
