Hello
Thank you for your query.
Breast tenderness could be a symptom of pregnancy, but very logically you can understand that you cannot rely solely on such symptoms to diagnose a pregnancy.
Also Postinor itself is a hormonal preparation and can give such side effects.
The only way to confirm is to take a pregnancy test once you miss your period.
A word of caution though - Postinor is NOT a substitute for a reliable method of contraception.
You must understand that such erratic intake of pills will mess up your periods and hormonal profile.
Take care.
