Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I took Postinor-2 a few days ago and I got my period twice. Since then, neither I got my period, nor I am pregnant. Why so?

Please help.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

It seems you might be suffering from menstrual irregularities. It could be due to hormonal imbalance caused by the emergency contraceptive pill. As you took the pill within 24 hours, there is almost no chance of pregnancy in your case. You may get withdrawal bleeding due to the pill within one week. So, I suggest you wait and watch for your menstrual cycle.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
