Hello Anonymous,

Since your girlfriend had some vaginal bleeding after taking Postinor 2,
she is not pregnant.

Abdominal pain could be a sign of anything from premenstrual cramps to food poisoning. If the pain persists, worsens, or she develops other symptoms, such as vomiting, she needs to consult her primary care physician.

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. If you do not start your period within three weeks of taking Postinor 2, you need to take a home pregnancy test.

Please consider calling your doctor about frequent urination and serious abdominal pain. You may have a urinary tract infection.

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. Vaginal bleeding after taking Postinor 2 indicates the pill worked to prevent pregnancy.

If you and your girlfriend have had unprotected sex since she bled, there is a risk for pregnancy. She can take an early response pregnancy test as early as five days before her next period is expected to start.

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for reaching out to us for advice. Any emergency contraceptive is most effective in preventing pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.

Since you took the first pill five hours after unprotected sex, taking the second pill four hours later than directed should not decrease the effectiveness of the pill.

We will not know if it worked until you get your next period. If you do not have vaginal bleeding within three weeks of taking Postinor 2, test for pregnancy.

Maryann
