I had sex on Wednesday and then took Postinor 2 on Friday, but I had sex again on Sunday at 4 am. Do I need to take another Postinor? I'm kinda worried about what I should do next.

It is recommended to take another dose of Postinor 2 within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse. So in your case, since you had sex on Sunday at 4:00 am, you can take another dose of Postinor 2 as soon as possible to further reduce the risk of pregnancy. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions provided with the medication.

I'm a bit concerned because I took mifepristone and then 24 hours later, I followed it up with 4 tablets of misoprostol, just like my gynaecologist told me to. But I've only had a bit of spotting for a little while and then no bleeding at all, just some cramps and nausea. It's been over 21 hours since I took the misoprostol and I'm worried that it might not be working. Can you help me understand what's going on or what I should do next?
