No doctor, her periods should start on 28th
Brief Answer:
Withdrawal bleeding
Detailed Answer:
Then the bleeding that occurred on day 14th of this month, that was not a period . that was a withdrawal bleeding as a side effect of postinor 2.
she should expect her period at the 28th as expected .
the little weight gain is salt and water retention and is a symptom of premenstrual tension which occurs before the date of expected period
the breast soreness is a symptom of premenstraul tension as well.
The postinor has the success rate of 99%, but if her period was late then she might need a pregnancy test.
I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
