People do not search “Postinor 2 side effects” because they are curious. They search because they feel something and they want to know if it is normal.
Let’s get straight to it.
Common Side Effects (Usually Short-Lived)
These can happen after emergency contraception. They are common and often temporary.
Nausea.
Tiredness.
Dizziness.
Breast tenderness.
Mild cramps.
Spotting.
The Timing Part Most Pages Skip
Some side effects show up in the first 24 hours. Others show up around your next period. The body is adjusting. Do not judge the whole situation from one symptom in one night.
Bleeding: Normal vs “Do Not Play”
Spotting can happen. A heavier or lighter period can happen. A shifted period can happen.
Get medical help if you have any of these:
Very heavy bleeding (soaking pads quickly).
Severe one-sided abdominal pain.
Fainting or severe weakness.
Fever, foul-smelling discharge, or feeling very unwell.
The “Womb Damage” Panic
Emergency contraception does not automatically “damage your womb.” The bigger risk is repeated panic dosing and never building a plan for regular contraception and STI protection.
If You Are Still Unsure, Pick One Next Step
Stop scrolling. Choose one action and do it today.
1. Speak to a clinician or pharmacist.
2. If symptoms are severe, go to the hospital.
3. If your period is late, pick a sensible pregnancy test date and stick to it.
