Delay in menstruation

Hi there, I took postinor2 in January and February and during these months, I had my period normally as expected. There was no side effects. But up till now, I haven't seen my period for March. I have been feeling the menstrual symptoms though but am still dry. I just did a pregnancy test today and it was negative. So I want to know, could this also be as a result of my intake of postinor2? Am kinda worried because I am already 3 weeks late. Thank you

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to us with your concern.

You to call and speak with your gynecologist or primary care physician.

You should never take an emergency contraceptive two consecutive months. This pill is intended for use in emergency situations and not intended to be used as birth control.

Though you had two normal periods after taking the pill, a concern is did you cause a hormonal imbalance that is presenting now.

That is why you need to be evaluated in [erson by your doctor.

Keep us updated,
Maryann
