Brief Answer:
You need some time to get back on schedule.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Postinor can mess up your cycle. You might have irregular bleeding until your next period. You might have lower abdominal pain. Also it can cause nausea or fatigue, tender breasts, headaches and diarrhea.
- If you have a 28 day cycle, ovulation ( time when you can get pregnant) is typically happening on the 14th day of your cycle so you should start to be careful about 11th day of your cycle.
- Normal menstrual bleeding last 3-5 days. So if we take 5 days it means that you had sex(18th) on the 6th day of your cycle. And this is safe time.
- Than you had sex in the following week and took the pills in a good time and than used condoms.
So there is no chance of getting pregnant. Because you took postinor twice, it can make you irregular for some time. So try to relax and wait for your period.
But if you can not stop thinking about pregnancy do the pregnancy test.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Hello again,
Postinor affects your menstrual cycle. The effect is varied from person to person and it is hard to say exactly when your periods will start again. I really suggest you to make a pregnancy test so than you will relax and wait for your period.
Best regards.
