I had sex 16 days after my first day of period. I took postinor 2, an hour after. 8 days later, i had dark brown blood when i clean my vagina and i had cramp on my stomach like when i was having my period. But the cramp is not as hurt as when i'm having my period. Can you explain? Cause i'm so scared right now.

Hello Heloitsme,

Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I am glad you came to us with your concern.

The dark brown blood was old blood and uterine lining left from your last period. Its release was caused by taking Postinor 2. The cramps are a side effect of the pill.

Be aware that your next period can start on time or it may start earlier or later than expected. Flow might be lighter or heavier than normal. These changes are caused by taking the pill.

Regards,
Maryann
