I took both pills in one dosage, is this dangerous or less effective? Also, what are the usual side effects after taking the pills and how soon after? I took the pills about a 17 days ago and now I'm spotting ( not heavy but blood is present). Could this be a side effect?

Hello Anonymous,

No. From now on, you must start using a regular type of birth control method, like condoms, birth control pills, IUD or Depo-Provera injections.

Hello, I had unprotected sex Saturday morning about 2am and I couldn't get a plan b pill until Monday in the afternoon, about 1:30pm. The one I got was Postnior and since it's after 72 hours, could I be pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

The effectiveness of Postinor 2 in preventing pregnancy is dependant upon taking the pill as directed. I think taking the second dose the following day, 24 hours later rather than 12 hours after the first dose, decreased its promised effectiveness.

Anonymous, check with either your gynecologist or pharmacist, who know more about emergency contraceptives.

Hello Anonymous,

You are suffering with a drug, Postinor 2 overdose. Contact your gynecologist or primary care physician today.
These are not signs of pregnancy. You may have seriously harmed your body by taking so many pills.

Hello Anonymous,

Postinor 2 is most effective in preventing pregnancy if taken as early as possible. Effectiveness cannot be guaranteed. You will know it worked once you have vaginal bleeding.

Check with a pharmacist or your gynecologist regarding the pill's effectiveness since the last dose was taken 77 hours after sex.
