Brief Answer:
Less chances of pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Postinor 2 should be taken as early as possible and not later than 72 hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It is not effective if taken 72 hours after unprotected sex. It is 95% effective within 24 hours of unprotected sex, 85% between 25 - 48 hours and 58% if taken between 49 - 72 hours.
In your case the chances of pregnancy are 5 - 10%. Your next periods may be delayed by a few days due to the effect of the pill.
However if your period is late for more than a week you should do a pregnancy test & see a Gynecologist.
That said, I must warn you that, taking this medicine in this pattern is not a good habit & can prove detrimental to your reproductive health. Rather you should opt for a regular, safer & more reliable contraception. You may discuss this matter at a family planning clinic or with a Gynecologist in your area.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Im also having vagina muscle pain..are there any mucus will spot once sperm ejaculate into vagina or any mucus release as a sign of going to get my period.
Brief Answer:
It is a non specific sign. Can be due to pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
The release of mucus is a non specific sign. You cannot predict your period based on it. The pain in the vaginal muscle can be due to the intercourse itself. It is not related to taking Postinor-2.
