Does Postinor Stop Menstrual Cycle?

Hello...Please I Used postinor 2 on the first day of my period when the little bits before the blood started coming out. this is day 3 after using postinor and my period has refused to flow, i'm back to whitish discharge. Does this mean the postinor has ceased my period? The reason i used it in the first place was because i had two rounds of unprotected sex and just wanted to be double sure nothing happens thou was expecting my period the next day. Please help.

Hi
Normally periods happen because the level of hormone called progesterone decreases in the body. Postinor contains relatively high dose of progesterone and can cause menstrual disturbances. If you don't get a proper period in 2 weeks time get a pregnancy test done.
Thanks
