Hi, i had intercourse with my boyfriend on March 15th. He didn't came inside me, and the next morning i took Postinor 2 at 12pm (March 16th) then i took the next pill on the following 12 hours as told in the directions. I'm irregular in my period like 5 days more or 5 days less. The last time my period came to me was on February 23rd. My breasts are very sensitive and I feel like my period is coming, but when I check, there is nothing. How long should I wait until my period comes?

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
The symptoms that you describe could be attributed to the high hormonal dosage contained in the emergency contraceptive. Since these pills contain high dosages of hormones, these affect your hormonal and period pattern causing delay in next periods. Wait and watch for your periods which could be delayed due to the emergency contraceptive use. Visit your doctor/gynecologist for further evaluation if periods do not start within 10 days or if you suspect chances of pregnancy, or if you develop any other new symptoms. If pregnancy gets ruled out, and if you are not ready for pregnancy, but intend to remain sexually active, you should consider visiting your gynecologist to get started on suitable regular birth control measures to be protected (after your periods). Be regular with birth control use as instructed. Avoid having unprotected sexual contact if you are not ready for pregnancy.
Take care.
