Does Postinor 2 Cause Vaginal Spotting?

Hello, me and my gf had unprotected sex on the 8th of March, after that she had took ponstinor2 . Then 8 days later she had some spotting, her period should be due around the 30th/31st . But yesterday she started having the same spotting as on the (16th) the one 8days after. Is this some kind of side effect of the drug? Thanks

Hi and welcome.
Well, these pills contain estrogen hormone and after the use of emergency contraception in some women, vaginal bleeding can occur.This can either in the form of spotting or heavy bleeding.The blood that you would have seen is likely as a result of the emergency contraception. Other possible side effects are abdominal pain, headache, nausea, fatigue. Pregnancy tests are usually highly accurate at detecting pregnancy if taken at the appropriate time which is 11 to 14 days after possible conception. If the tests that you did were done at this time or later then they are likely accurate. Emergency contraception only reduces the risk of unplanned pregnancy by 88% but consistent use of other forms of contraception ( the pill, injection, implants etc) offer 99% protection. I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
