Hello Anonymous,

Postinor 2 contains a man-made form of the hormone progesterone that prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation, if taken in the middle of your menstrual cycle before ovulation. It increases the thickness of your cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach and fertilize a released egg if ovulation has already occurred.

Like all medications, Postinor 2 has side effects. They include nausea, sometimes vomiting. withdrawal bleeding two or three days after taking the pill, next monthly period might be earlier or late than expected, breast tenderness, headache, dizziness, and fatigue.

Please, do not use Postinor 2 or any other emergency contraceptive as regular birth control. For emergency use only.

Regards,
Maryann

Hi Anonymous,

Postinor 2 can cause changes in the menstrual cycle. This side effect can make your next monthly period start earlier or later than expected. Flow can be lighter or heavier than normal.

Wait and see what happens with the bleeding, if it stops or continues. I think the blood spot is the result of taking Postinor 2 but you can always check with your doctor.

Hello Anonymous,

Postinor 2 works to prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. One side effect is changes to the menstrual cycle. Your next monthly period may start earlier or later than expected.

Because you took the pills three days after your period ended, the lining in your uterus had no time to build up again, so you passed any old tissue and blood left from your period. That is what the brown spotting was.

Breast tenderness and lower abdominal pain are two commonly reported side effects of this pill.

Having your next period will confirm that the pill worked and you are not pregnant.

Maryann
