Hello dear
I understand your concern
No contraception is 100% effective in preventing the pregnancy.
There is 5-10% failure rate.
Postinor 2 contain high progesterone and it cause delay in the period by 8-0 days.
But if period will delay by the 12 days then think about the pregnancy.
You can go for pregnancy test and or blood HCG after 12 days of delayed period.
If you will be pregnant then still you can terminate it by using abortion pill under the advice of gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
