Dear lady,
Postinor2, or as known as the morning after pill, needs to be taken as soon as possible after the intercourse to have the maximum effect. If taken less than 12 hours, it can be as much as 90% effective, but taken after 48 or more hours, as your case, it can be less than 20% effective.
This is why I recommend you to take a pregnancy test and check if you are pregnant. This is the only way to be sure.
