Hi,
The first week of your menstrual cycle comes under safe period. If you have unprotected sex during this period there is no possibility of getting pregnant. There was no need to take Postinor 2.
After starting microgynon did you use back up contraception for the first 7 days or not? This is important to have contraceptive coverage for this cycle.

If you have used Microgynon correctly as per instructions then your chances of pregnancy are less than 1%. This means that of 100 women using Microgynon for one year less than one woman will get pregnant.
The progesterone in the pill can also cause breast soreness and nausea.

If you have not used back up contraception for the first seven days of starting Microgynon then it is as good as not using contraception. Your chances of getting pregnant will be like women not using contraception.

I hope i have answered to your satisfaction.
