Hello
Thanks for your query.
Postinor 2 is emergency contraceptive pill.
After taking emergency contraceptives, some kind of withdrawal bleeding is generally experienced within a few days.
So what you experienced was most probably withdrawal bleeding.
Also, emergency contraceptives tend to prepone or postpone your normal periods by a week, or sometimes, more unto ten days.
Hence, the delay of periods is due to the same effect.
However, take a pregnancy test just to be on the safer side.
All the best.
