Q: 

My menstrual cycle has been a bit off

Took Postinor 2 on February 14th. My period came on March 2nd (as expected) but was very light (a panty liner would do).. It increased by the 3rd day but not as much as usual. That period lasted my normal duration (6 days). It's April 4th and I've not seen my period. However, it feels like I'm on my period but I'm not bleeding.

Hello,

Emergency contraceptive pills are 95% effective when taken within 24 hours after having intercourse.  After that time the effectiveness decreases dramatically.

The most common side effect of EC is a disrupted cycle.  However, in general, periods tend to be unpredictable.  Thus whether a cause of the EC or not, there is no cause for alarm unless you did not take it soon enough for the pill to effectively prevent pregnancy.
