Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for reaching out to us with your question regarding the use of Postinor 2.
Postinor 2 is a safe and effective emergency contraceptive when taken as directed. It is intended to be used in the event of a contraceptive failure, and should not be taken more than once in a one month or menstrual cycle period.
By taking the pill twice in the interval of four days, you seriously upset the hormonal balance that regulates the menstrual cycle. Postinor 2 prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. Thus, your next period could be earlier or later than normal in starting.
All that you can do is wait and use another form of birth control, such as a condom, if you are sexually active.
If you are not ready to have another baby, please talk with your gynecologist and find a form of birth control that works best for you. In addition to oral contraceptives, consider the Depo-Provera injection or an IUD.
