What Causes Delay In Periods When Took Postinor2 After Unprotected Sex?
I am 28 yrs hold. I had unprotected sex on 23/04/12 and presently I have not seen my period. I used one of the postinor2 2hrs after the sex and I used the second one 36hrs after. I expected my period on 21/05/12 because in recent time the cycle used to be 26days.

Hi,
Postinor being an emergency contraceptive has hormonal content. It acts by postponing ovulation. Thus, disturbed your routine menstrual cycle and delay it by 8 - 10 days. So you would get delayed periods. Please have barrier contraceptive protection these days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
