Over dosage of Postinor 2

I took both pills in one dosage, is this dangerous or less effective? Also, what are the usual side effects after taking the pills and how soon after? I took the pills about a 17 days ago and now I'm spotting ( not heavy but blood is present). Could this be a side effect?

Hello Anonymous,

Postinor prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. That protection lasts for one menstrual cycle.

No need to take another dose.

Hello Anonymous,

No. Postinor 2 is effective if taken within 72 hours or three days of unprotected intercourse.

Hello Anonymous,

You over used Postinor and that is why you are seeing this change in your menstrual cycle and period.

At this point, you need to be seen by a gynecologist. Quite simply, you messed up your hormones.

Hello Anonymous,

If she does not have any bleeding within three weeks of taking the pill, she needs to test. Only way to know.

I had my last period on 5th July I had sex on 17th July and took Postinor morning of 18th, but took 2 tablets at once. on 26th July I started bleeding for some days. Yesterday 7th August (which is my normal period cycle) I started feeling some abdominal pains, my breast feels heavy, nipples tender and I noticed my nipples were discharging milk (I noticed the discharge 1 week ago too). What could be the reason for this?
