HI, thanks for the query. THe bleeding you had after 56 days of postinor is withdrawal bleeding due to hormones inbuilt in the pills. Usually period is delayed by 8-10 days after taking emergency contraceptive. You did not get it till DEC, 19th.. this suggests two conditions- - The Postinor acts by postponing ovulation.. so may be you had unprotected sex during the postponed ovulation & got pregnant. It might be an early date for doing pregnancy.. when you did it. SO repeat the test after 8 days - If the test is -ve, consult a gynecologist to find other possible cause of delayed period.( PCOD/ thyroid , ovarian, uterine problem ) & get specific treatment accordingly. Thanks.
