Brief Answer:
Urine pregnancy test advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Prostinor-2 is levonorgestrel which is used as an emergency contraceptive. It has side effects like irregular periods for the next few menstrual cycles.
Unprotected intercourse may lead to pregnancy, even sometimes after withdrawal of penis before ejaculation, as sometimes while withdrawing the semen may spill in or around vagina.
Pregnancy is associated with increased vaginal discharge, which you may be experiencing.
If your periods are delayed, I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test.
If positive, then further management should be done accordingly.
However, irregular periods can also be due to hormonal disorders like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactnemia or polycystic ovarian disease, and due to stress.
In case of negative result, I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get yourself properly examined, investigated (including hormonal profile) and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr Deepti Verma
