Hello dear
Understand your concern
Following are the causes of white vaginal discharge after taking Postinor.
1. Preparing stage for menstruation: as postinor contain high progesterone it causes vaginal discharge 5-7 days after taking pill.
2. Vaginal infections: Bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia are transmitted by sex and cause vaginal infections. Should be diagnosed vagina swab test and urine report. Should be treated by antibiotic and by maintaining proper pelvic hygiene by V- Vaginal plus wash.

Period may be delayed by 5-7 days due to postinor. So if period will be delayed by 10-12 days then you have to go for home urinary pregnancy test and or Blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy as it has percent failure rate.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
