Hello Anonymous,

You are not pregnant because you had vaginal bleeding after taking the morning after pill.

The reason your period for April is late could be for two reasons.

Some women will experience changes in their menstrual cycle after taking the pill. This reported side effect presents as either the next monthly period starting earlier or later than normal, but usually not more than five days. The menstrual flow can be lighter or heavier than normal.

During periods of high stress, the body increases production and secretion of cortisol, the "stress hormone". In response, certain bodily functions, deemed "non-essential", shut down. The menstrual cycle is one of these functions.

Try to relax and your period should start.

Regards,
Maryann
