Is Bleeding Five Days After Taking Two Postinor-2 Pills Indicative Of Successful Birth Control?

I had unprotected sex on the night of the 14th of October @ 11:30 and took postnior 2 pill at 9:30 the next morning and the other pill 12 hours after. I started bleeding somewhere in between light & heavy 5 days later . Does that mean the pills worked?

Hi,

Bleeding after 5 days of taking Postinor-2 pills indicates that the medicine had left your body. You had taken the pills within 24 hours of act. This means that pregnancy would be prevented.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
