Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to us about your girlfriend's late period.
The bleeding, which started two to three days after taking the I-pill and lasted for two to three days, was proof that the pill worked and she did not become pregnant.
Changes in the menstrual cycle is a reported side effect of this pill. The woman's next menstrual period could start on time, earlier or later than expected.
Anonymous, I think that is the reason your girlfriend has not gotten her period yet. However, if she misses her period for the month, she should contact her gynecologist.
The concern isn't pregnancy, but an upset in the hormonal balance that controls her menstrual cycle. Emergency contraceptive pills contain a high dose of a synthetic hormone. All women are different and some may react more than others will.
