What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking Postinor?

My cycle is usually 26days,...but it extended to 29days by december. Calculating with 26days which has been normal for me,my ovulation is supposed to be on the 9th of january,I had sex dat day,condom slipped off,I don t even know if he exactly cum in me,so,scared I took postinor 2 on the 10th. Now my period is delayed with 8days,using 26days cycle and 5days using 29,which am not even sure the exact one due to alterations last month. The worst part is,I tested positive dis morning,I am so freaked out,I have these discharges,which are much,I have cramps,and my breast is so big. I don t know what to do. Read dat delaay could last 10-15days after postinor,but why did I test positive??,.I havnt had any bleeding since,even slight ones. Help me please. Twas my first use of postinor,and my nerves are busting.

Hello,
I can understand your problem.
First of all, keep your calm as being excessively stressed won't solve the problem. It will decrease your capacity of thinking for solutions.
As an emergency contraceptive, postinor-2 is effective but it is not 100% effective and there are chances of failure in around 5% cases. Failure is even more if adequate dose is not taken.
Now, your pregnancy test is positive, so accept that you are pregnant and think for the further course of action.
If you want to go for abortion then you have the option of medical abortion for early pregnancy using misoprostol, mefepristone & methotraxate.
Please consult a gynecologist for the same.
Hope this will be helpful.
Do ask if any further question is there.
Thanks for using HCM. Take care.
