hi I had intercourse two days before my period was due. I took postinor 2 within the 72 hrs. six days later I had bleeding similar to my period that lasted about six days. does this mean i am not pregnant? also will it affect my cycle for the upcoming mth

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.
