Hello dear
understand your concern
Postinor 2 is highly effective around 95-97% in preventing the pregnancy when taken with in 24 hours.
So you have very less chance to become pregnancy.
Your period is delayed due to postinor 2 as it contain high progesterone.
High progesterone cause prolongation of second phase of cycle and period will delay by 8-10 days.

Withdrawal bleeding will not occur in all users.
If your period will delay by more than 12 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
If you will be pregnant then still you can terminate it by abortion pill under the advise of the gynecologist.
But do not worry, your period will come in 5-7 days.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, and do regular exercise.

Hope this may help you
