Hello
Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX
After taking postinor what you are experiencing now is called withdrawal bleeding . It normally happens after taking hormonal medication like postinor. You may have a bleed like a period for further few days . Also your normal menstrual cycles may become irregular. It's a common side effect of postinor . Just remember that your dates may change in the next few cycles .

Brief Answer:
safe if the bleeding is like a period
Detailed Answer:
The bleeding can be less than a period but it should continue for a couple of days at least. It may be slightly less than a normal period but shouldnt be just spotting. You may have to use a pad for a day or two. In that case, you are safe.
