Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Postinor 2 or any of the emergency contraception tablets are hormonal and so can cause irregular or out of cycle bleeding. It may take several months for your periods to get back to normal. If there is any concern about pregnancy then check a pregnancy test, but the bleeding can be just a normal part of the process.
Let me know if you have further questions.

Can i take my pregancy test tommorow??
Doctor is it there is the possibilty to get pregant even i took 4 pills within 72 hours?

Answered by Dr. Kathy Robinson (4 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Yes and yes

Detailed Answer:
Yes it is possible that you could be pregnant. Emergency contraception is pretty good but no 100%. It is more effective the closer you take it to the exposure.

Yes, pregnancy tests are most accurate in the first morning urine, so tomorrow would be best.
