Hello, thanks for writing in to HCM.
Postinor may cause side effects such as fatigue, vague abdominal pain, breast tenderness etc similar to pregnancy symptoms. But more importantly it may cause your next period to be unusual- heavy/light, early or delayed.
I would suggest you wait for a 2-3 days to see if your period arrives, and if not then take a pregnancy test.
Do not worry. Do write in again if you have any doubts.
Take care.
