General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill. It prevents unwanted pregnancy by causing breakthrough bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of its intake.
If you had periods within 3 weeks from its intake, it says you are not pregnant.
What problem you are facing now is early periods, which could have been caused due to hormonal imbalance. This can happen sometime following emergency contraceptive pill intake and should regularize by 3 months.
In case this problem continues, you need to get evaluated for the cause and treated accordingly by consulting Gynecologist.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
