Hi & Welcome to HCM.
You seem to have developed side effects due to high doses of Positnor-2.
Positnor-2 which contains hormone Levonorgestrel is an emergency contraceptive that can be used after unprotected sex or where a contraceptive method has failed. The usual dose is to take one tablet as soon as possible (but no later than 72 hours) after you have had unprotected sex. This is followed by second tablet 12 hours (and no longer than 16 hours) after the first tablet. Since you have taken two tablets on the same day this could have resulted in hormonal imbalance causing the side effects. Your period might be different. Most women will have a normal period at the expected time, but some may have their period later or earlier than normal. You might also have some irregular bleeding or spotting until your next period.
If your period is more than 5 days late or is unusually light or unusually heavy, you should contact a gynecologist as soon as possible.
Hope these suggestions would be useful.
