Brief Answer:
It can cause delay period.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for trusting us about your health concern.

Yes, postinor-2 can cause menstrual irregularities for 2-3 cycles due to hormonal imbalance.

It contains high doses of hormone in it and may change your menstrual cycle for 2-3 months.

Your period may come early or delay by 7 days but you have to perform a home urine pregnancy test, if you missed your period by 7 days to rule out pregnancy.

Period can be delayed due to other causes like stress, anxiety, weight changes, straneous exercise shedule.

So please keep all this in your mind.

Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.
