Hello. Thank you for posting.

Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours and up to 90% effective when taken within 72 hours. You say you *have* been taking Postinor 2. How often are you taking it? The more frequently it's taken, the more likely a woman is to have side effects and an irregular cycle. ECP (emergency contraception) should be taken only for emergencies, not used as a regular method of birth control. There is nothing to do but wait for your cycle to sort itself since your pregnancy tests are negative thus far. See your doctor if you are still concerned.
