What Causes Missed Menstruation After Having Postinor-2?
Hi I had sex with my boyfriend one day before my period supposed to have, and took postinor 2 few hours after that on the same day... One tablet after 12 hrs of the first one.. Now it has been 6 days and I am still not having my period yet... So what does this says???
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill. The dose as prescribed needs to be taken within 72 hours after having unprotected intercourse. What dose you have taken is rightly as prescribed. The pill would prevent pregnancy by causing breakthrough bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of intake of the first dose of pill. Most of the times, it would happen during the first week itself. In case the bleeding does not happen by 3 weeks, you need to seek medical attention immediately. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
