Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to us with your concern about a late period.
Changes in the menstrual cycle are a reported side effect of an emergency contraceptive. Some women will start their next period earlier or later than expected, usually not by more than five days. Flow can be lighter or heavier than normal.
The withdrawal bleeding was proof the pill was effective and prevented you from becoming pregnant.
