General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, Welcome to HCM.
You have done the right thing by taking Postinor in time, which is morning-after pill used for emergency contraception.

Some of the known side effects by use of Postinor include: Delay in period, bleeding not related to menstrual bleeding, irregular bleeding or spotting, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, lower abdominal pain, breast tenderness, dizziness and headache.

So you don't have to worry much and you have to wait till you get your periods.

All the best.
