Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
If you had your period on on 17th and you had unprotected sex on 22nd than your chance of being pregnant is very remote whether you take postinor or not as you were in "safe period".
Postinor contains substantial amount of hormones which can disrupt physiological hormonal balance. It can cause withdrawal bleeding which you had on 29th.
You have already confirmed by urine test that you are not pregnant.
So, relax, everything is fine, don't worry about being pregnant as you are not.
Hope this will be helpful.
Take care.

HI,
I understand your concern.
Postinor is an emergensy contraceptive- it acts by avoiding ovulation due to it's high hormone content.
Usually there is withdrawal bleeding after you take Postinor in 7-10 days of consumption. You got it on 29th of same month.
Due to the hormonal interference by postinor- your normal menstrual cycle was disturbed- so you you did not get periods on your normal date-& your pregnancy test was also -ve.
Due to the interruption in between, your menstrual cycle has changed pattern now- which may remain so for a couple of months & then it will take over the normal cycle.
Please be sure to use some contraceptive hence forth- barrier contraception this month & oral contraceptive after you get your menses this month( with a doctor's advise)
Thanks.
