Brief Answer:
These pills can cause unexpected vaginal bleeding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
You had sexual intercourse with your partner twice and took postinor pill (emergency contraception) both times. And as I understand from you description, you had your periods earlier than expected.
I can understand your concerns.
I would like to tell you that there are chances of unexpected vaginal bleeding with these pills, but this is not dangerous and should clear up by the time you have your next period.
The pill might also cause your next period to come early or later than normal.
But if your periods are delayed by more than a week, you should go in for a pregnancy test and contact your gynecologist.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
it might get delayed further.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the follow-up query.
Postinor pills can cause early or delayed periods as I told you earlier.
Did you have periods after taking the pills?
If not and you are still expecting it, I think it might get delayed by upto a week.
Hope this helps.
