Experienced Nausea, Tender Breasts And Some Bleeding After Taking Postinor2. Why ?
I took postinor 2 six days after my last period. A week later I woke up feeling nauseous, my breasts were tender as well. After seven days of taking the pill I experienced bleeding which stopped after three days and resumed two days later, the later flow was brown and pasted for four days, though oh small quantities, unlike my normal menses. What could I be experiencing?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Postinor 2 is a high dose hormonal pill. It causes the side effects like nausea and breast tenderness. The mild spotting that you had is due to the withdrawal bleeding caused by the single dose. It can delay your periods by a few days also.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
