Hello rs,

Welcome to the EmpowHER community and thank you for reaching out to us with your questions.

The vaginal bleeding means Postinor 2 was effective and you are not pregnant.

Some women experience changes in their menstrual cycles as a side effect of the pill. Next month, your period could come on time or start earlier or later than expected, but not by more than five days.

Hope this answers your questions.
