What Causes Stomach Pain And Bloating After Taking Postinor2?
Hello Doctor, I had unprotected sex on December 21 and I saw my menstration the same date. I felt unsafe so I took postinor 2, the two tablet at once 42 hours after sex, that's December 23rd. But now I'm feeling unconfortable, stomach disorder and stomach pains. And my stomach as swell a little. Is this the side effect of postinor 2 or is it possible I'm pregnant?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Stomach pain & bloating are common side effects related to intake of postinor 2. These symptoms would last for 1-2 days. You could take painkiller like ibuprofen/acetaminophen for it. These are not be related to pregnancy.
First of all having a period after sex means you are not pregnant, however the flow should be heavy as normal. If you had normal period after having intercourse then, intake of emergency contraceptive pill like postinor was not necessary.
Emergency contraceptive pill or I pill work by preventing implantation of fertilized egg on uterus. As you have taken the pill 42 hours of sex, You should now relax as pregnancy possibility is very less.
Use condom or regular contraceptive pill as method of conception in future. Taking more emergency contraceptive pills can cause problems like irregular periods, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & even infertility.
If problem persists consult a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
