Hello Anonymous,

Yes, this is because you took Postinor 2, which prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation.

There was no need to take it. You would not have been ovulating two or three days after you finished your period. There was no risk for pregnancy.

Your period will start, but later than expected.

If you use one tablet and did not end up using the second after 12hrs are you still safe coz am very scared.

Had an intercourse 3 days ago. Took postinor 2 the next day at 2pm and the next one th following day at 1pm. Is it still effective? Breasts feeling kind of sore. Could that be any one of the symptoms?

This is not my first time here. I was the one that went on mountain hiking after the intercourse with my bf. We never have any sex after that. A few days after I return from my trip, I had my period for a total of 5days. I took 6 pregnancy tests and all turned out negative. It had weeks since that intercourse happened but today I feel like there is something in me and when I press the area between my ribs till my pelvic bone, it feels like I am squishing something. I have no pregnancy symptoms, not nauseatic, no breasts swell and no vomiting. Just hungry and tired sometimes. Am I being paranoid?

Yes you are being paranoid. You've had 6 pregnancy tests AND a period. Relax. I am 100% sure you are not pregnant. You can go to a doctor just to be sure, after that you can get on a more permanent contraception plan like the pill.

Alternatively you can wait 1 week then do another pregnancy test. By now the HCG levels on your urine should be detectable.
