Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
As your periods are delayed, get tested for pregnancy. blood HCG test or urine pregnancy test 10 days after missed periods is useful. 2nd dose should be taken with 12 hour diffrence from 1st dose. Emergency contraceptives like Postinor-2 are not for use as a regular method of contraception because of the increased possibility of failure compared to other methods of contraception After taking Postinor-2, you should use another method of contraception (condoms or cap plus spermicide), or not to have sex until your next period.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
