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?

Hi Marynn,
Yesterday I had unprotected intercourse and followed by today. After 5 hours then I took my Prostinor 2 and masturbate myself in night before taking the second tablets? Does this reduce the effectiveness of the tablets?

Hello Anonymous,

No, this does not reduce the effectiveness of the tablets.

Hi, i took postinor 2 early this year, later i had unprotected sex then took Postinor 2 again. twice in two days. Now, i have serious abdominal pains and painful urination. i feel like vomiting most times. does this indicate that I'm pregnant or the drug was just two much?

Hello Anonymous,

Your symptoms are the result of overdosing on Postinor 2. You should consider consulting your primary care physician for evaluation.

Hello Anonymous,

I think it should. Your girlfriend will know if it worked if she gets her period within the next three weeks.

Hi, I took postinor two about 5 times within 4 months within last year 2013. Saw my last period in June and haven't seen my period again in January 14 . I took pregnancy tests both at home and in the hospital and I'm not pregnant. Don't have any changes in my body. Just not getting my period. What's happening to me. Please help

Hello Anonymous,

You overdosed. Postinor 2 contains high doses of a synthetic hormone found in most birth control pills. You should not have taken it as often as you did. The pill is intended to be for emergency use only, not as a birth control pill.

I am sorry to say that you really messed up your body. There is not a lot of information out there about the side effects of taking the pill as often as you did or how long it will take your body to return to normal.

Anonymous, please consult your primary care physician for any further advice.

Regards,
Maryann
