Hello ma'am and welcome.

The lighter pattern of your flow does not indicate pregnancy and could purely be a side effect of taking postinor. Menstrual irregularities and inter-menstrual bleeding are common side effects during pregnancy. So please do not worry, but you could either way conduct a home pregnancy test 2 weeks from the 26 th of June.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
