General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill. It needs to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
In case you have followed this protocol, you need to get your periods within 3 weeks of consuming the pill.
In case this doesn't happen, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
Kindly get your urine pregnancy test, serum beta-HCG and Trans-vaginal ultrasound scan (TVS) done and consult Gynecologist at the earliest for appropriate management.
All the best.
