General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I have read your query & understood your concern.
To start with let me clear that Postinor 2 is an emmergency contraceptive.. it should not be used on regular basis.
Being a high dose hormone preparation, it tends to cause delay in periods by 8-10 days,that why your cycle was prolonged
Menstruaton starts when natural hormone ( progesteron )drops..You had added a hogh dose of hormone before period could start.. naturally it will - Delay menstruation by 8-10 days
- WE can not predict about possibility of pregnancy because of your haphazard intake of postinor. but if the drug is taken in pregnancy, Postinor2 acn cause congenital anomaly in fetus.. so in such case termination of pregnancy is advised.
Thanks.
