Thank you for sharing your concerns with us on HCM!

Postinor is not a contraceptive method and must not be used like that. It's an emergency drug when the contraceptive method is not applied. So Postinor shouldn't be used regulary and for a long time. It makes unappropriate the womb to have a conception. Have you a normal cycle after you have stopped taking the pill? You should have e meeting with your gynaecologist as soon as possible to do further examinations, and if everything is good, you must keep trying to get pregnant. Have sex in fertile days since the possibility of getting pregnant is bigger.

Best regards.
