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?

Hi there. I just have a question. As i have read in the previous comments, if i am not mistaken i read that vaginal bleeding (or spotting) as a result of taking the Postinor pills is a sign that it has worked to prevent the pregnancy. I was wondering if vaginal bleeding would occur too if semen transfer didn't happen? In other words like if i thought that my boyfriend's sperm might've made its way to my vagina and i take the Postinor pills but in reality semen transfer actually didn't happen? Pls advice. Hope to hear from you soon!

PS : How long does the spotting usually last?

Hello Anonymous,

When is your next period due? Do you normally have premenstrual cramps? Do the cramps feel like that?

If you are concerned and the cramps are persistent, talk with your gynecologist.

Regards,

I'm using combination 3 family planning though I use it everyday but I don't keep to the actual time. I had several unprotected sex with my man this month but I'm afraid of getting pregnant. Can I still use postinor 2 after sex?
