When Will Withdrawal Bleeding Resume Post Intake Of Postinor 2?
Question: I'm very worried i took postinor 2 pills at the same time a couple hours after my boyfriends condom broke inside me on saturday it's been 6 days with no sign of withdrawal bleeding. Last time i took it, i had withdrawal bleeding in 2 days. Is it possible the pills did not work?
Brief Answer:
You are less likely to be pregnant
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
This pills are highly effective if taken Within 72 hours of unprotected sex. As you have taken within this period you are less likely to be pregnant.
You should not have taken Postinor 2 for a second time just a day after the first dose. Taking it twice and so close will upset your menstrual cycle.
Usually taking an POSTINOR pill does not affect your period, and you will have it at the usual time. But your period can also come earlier or later than usual. You might also have some irregular bleeding or spotting until your next period.
It is always advised that one should go for home urine pregnancy test after a week of missed period and with morning sample as it is more sensitive.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Take care.

Welcome back,
Good to hear from you.
These symptoms can occur in some one, and can also be attributed to taking two tablet at very little interval. If it is not troubling you, it is fine.
