Q: 

Can I be pregnant?

I am 18 and a virgin. My boyfriend ejaculated on me and I took Postinor 2 within 48 hrs. One week later exactly when my period was supposed to come I had it but for only 2 days, while I had light spotting on the remaining 2 days. Is this normal because of the Postinor 2 or does it mean I am pregnant?Please I need an answer.

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for coming to us with your concern about possibly being pregnant.

You are not pregnant.

Changes to the menstrual cycle are a reported side effect that some women experience. Taking Postinor 2 can cause your next menstrual period to start on time, earlier or later than expected. The menstrual flow can be lighter, as was in your case, or heavier than normal.

As you become sexually active, please start using some type of birth control, such as oral contraceptives, an IUD or condoms. Postinor 2 and all other emergency contraceptives are not intended to be used as birth control but only in an emergency, such as the condom breaks.

Regards,
Maryann
