Hello Anonymous,

Did you take an emergency contraceptive? How long ago? How long have you been bleeding? Is there blood in your urine?

Please contact your gynecologist today and report this. Let us know what you are told.

Hello Anonymous,

It is hard to say what the scanty bleeding was.

Postinor 2 prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. It can cause changes in the menstrual cycle. Your next period could start earlier or later than expected. Flow might be lighter or heavier than normal.

If you do not have any further bleeding within three weeks of taking the pill, then test for pregnancy.

Hello Anonymous,

What you should have done was use back up protection, that is have your boyfriend wear a condom, during all sexual intercourse for the first week of starting Yasmin.

You need to contact your gynecologist to report this and what to do next.

If you are bleeding, you did not and are not pregnant. However, the problem is a hormonal imbalance, first the one that is causing you to have an irregular menstrual cycle, and now the one caused by taking Postinor 2.

Hello Anonymous,

The bleeding after taking Postinor 2 proved the pill worked to prevent pregnancy. However, the hormone in the pill could have upset the normal hormonal balance that regulates your menstrual cycle.

When is your period due to start? If you do not get a period at all this month, please contact your gynecologist.

Hi,My period usually start before end of the month. then i tried to take pregnancy test(twice) last dec 5 and its negative, my last sex was oct 29(protected sex) then last nov. no sex interaction after the bleeding. Am i pregnant? is it possible that i will not have a period this coming month?because i took postinor 2 more than once in a menstrual cycle and two months in a row. I need advice.

Hello Anonymous,

It is very likely that you caused a hormonal imbalance because you took Postinor 2 more than once during a menstrual cycle, and two months in a row.

This is a problem that must be evaluated by your gynecologist, in person.
