What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking Postinor?
Hi doc, I had an unprotected sex on the 10th and took postinor 2 on the 12th and my period was suppose to come on the 15th or 17th of this same month. Now, it s over 38 days and i ve not seen it. Could it be that i m pregnant, Because I kept having unprotected sex after the pills or, is it that my period is been delayed? I m very worried now Because I need a child and my breast has been heavy ever since Until now. Please help me i m so confused. thanks.

Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
Postinor protects against pregnancy when taken within 72hrs after unprotected intercourse but the sooner the better..
If your cycles are regular 20-30day cycles your time of interocurse falls within the safe period..
With emergency contraceptive pills there can be delay in periods..
In case of doubt you can do urine pregnancy test to know whether you are pregnant or not..
If not wait for your period..
Take care..
