Could Bleeding After Having Gynaecosid With Postinor 2 Indicate Abortion?
Hi,Me and my gf had unprotected sex 3 weeks ago, then she has her periods cycle usually on the end of frist week of the month, but, she didnt had any periods uptill now, already 12 days have passed as of her periods date. and a total 20 days when we had intimation. Then, some gynaecologist suggested her to take gynaecosid with postinor 2, for 3 days, 4 times a day. In the second on going day of the medicine course of these, she started having blood flow from her female genital organ.Now, what I wanted to know is, has she aborted? Is it a sign of abortion??

Hallow Dear,
The use of Gynaecosid and Postinor 2 are different; however, definitely not to terminate the pregnancy.
Postinor 2 is a post coital contraceptive; i.e. it prevents the pregnancy from the unprotected sex if taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sex. Your girlfriend has taken it 20 days after the sexual relations. So it is most unlikely that it will act as post-coital contraception.
Gynaecosid is an Oestrogen preparation and has no effect as an abortifacient.
However, both these medicines due to the hormones in them can induce withdrawal bleeding if the periods are delayed and if there is no pregnancy.
So, your girlfriend was not pregnant. She has got the withdrawal menstruation in response to Postinor 2 and Gynaecosid.
I hope this explains you the events.
