User avatar Hello Deviantgirl,

Postinor pills are a hormonal pill and most definitely can affect your menstrual cycle. The effect is varied from person to person and can range from no effect to altering flow patterns to delaying (or hastening) a woman's period. Given the day of your cycle, you would be expected to be less fertile but pregnancy is not impossible. Overall, it sounds like your risk is low but if there is concern, I would recommend taking a pregnancy test in about 4 weeks.

Best wishes.
