Hi,
Postinor can cause delayed periods so I would advise you to repeat a urine pregnancy test after 1 week. If it's negative then I think a course of medroxyprogesterone tablet will be required, if the test comes positive then there may be requirement of a medical abortion. Also, I would suggest you to get a thyroid profile test done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
