Hello Sadef,

Welcome again to EmpowHER.

Yes, changes to the menstrual cycle are a side effect of Postinor. Your next period could start earlier or later than expected.

In your case, you over dose the pill. You should never take it more than once in a one month period. You took the pill on June 22 and again on July 2.

You could wait it out and see what happens with your period or call your gynecologist today.

Regards,
Maryann
