Hello Anonymous,

There was no need to take Postinor 2 because you would not have been ovulating the day after finishing your period. There was never a risk for pregnancy.

Bloody vaginal discharge was break through bleeding caused by the pill. You may notice a change in your next menstrual cycle. Your next period may start earlier or later than normal, and your menstrual flow could be lighter or heavier than normal.

Dizziness and headache are two commonly reported side effects when taking Postinor 2. However, if the headaches are severe and persist, and the feeling of dizziness persists, please consult your physician.

Regards,
Maryann

Hello Anonymous,

An emergency contraceptive, such as Postinor 2, is intended to be used only in an emergency situation and not a regular form of birth control. If you do not want to become pregnant, you must find and use some form of birth control regularly.

Are you having vaginal bleeding now? If so, then you are not pregnant.

Hello Anonymous,

Do not take another dose of Postinor 2. If you are having vaginal bleeding right now, it means the pill worked and you are not pregnant.
