Hi,

Using Postinor 2 or any kind of emergency contraceptive pills repeatedly (twice in a month or long term) doesn't affect women's fertility or future pregnancy. However, the usual side effects of the pills such as irregular cycle, breast changes, upset stomach, mood swings do exist in few cases during the time of intake. But most of the women get their cycle within 2-3 months after stopping the pills.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
