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,

If I understand correctly, you just started taking birth control pills and had taken an active pill for four consecutive days. Did you take an active pill on December 6, the day you had intercourse?

If you took a pill that day, why did you take Postinor 2?

Postinor 2 contains a high dose of the same hormone found in most birth control pills. By taking control pills and Postinor 2, you overdosed and potentially caused a serious hormone imbalance.

Anonymous, call your gynecologist today and follow any recommendations. I suggest you not take any more pills until you speak with your doctor and pick up the pills from your boyfriend's house.

Regards,
Maryann

In October, my period came on the 4th. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the 27th and I took Pillanor2 less than 24 hours later. My period was two days late (started on the 6th of November), short (3 days instead of 5 days). I've been having pains in my breasts and they are swollen too. Am I pregnant? Tried pregnancy test strips about two weeks ago and they were negative. I also feel my stomach is getting bigger and I'm very hungry in the mornings too which is very much unlike me.

Hello Anonymous,

Vaginal bleeding after taking Postinor 2 means the pill worked and you are not pregnant.

You overdosed on the drug... You're supossed to take just 2 pills and not 3. The bleeding and nauseating feeling are probably the side effects of the drug however to be on the safe side go and do a blood test to find out if you're pregnant as strips are not 100% accurate... Xo

hi
I had sex with my gf on 8th October and gave her 1 postinor the next morning. Then we had sex again that morning. Second postinor was given 12 hours after the first. We had sex again that night. The following night we decided she should be on regular oral contraceptive pills. Is she safe from pregnancy?
Thank you.
