General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Postinor 2 is Levonorgestrel containing hormonal preparation which can be used as emergency pill and it is very effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hour of unprotected intercourse. 1.5 mg single dose or 0.75 mg two divided dose 12 hour apart can be prescribed. During ovulation time, the chance of pregnancy is high so it's good that you have taken the pill.

If your next period is delayed for 7 days then rule out pregnancy by urine HCG card test although chance of pregnancy is very less in your case.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
