Hello Anonymous,

Yes, an emergency contraceptive can cause changes in your menstrual cycle and be the reason your period is delayed.

Hello Anonymous,

What is done, is done.

I can tell you there is no chance of you being pregnant. However, I can tell you that you caused an upset in the hormonal balance that regulates your menstrual cycle.

You can expect a temporary irregularity, such as an earlier or later period, and lighter or heavier flow. If you are up to it, consult your gynecologist.

Hi,
My last period was on 22 March and it lasted 3 weeks. My normal period cycle is about 38 days. I had unprotected sex on 28 April and I took morning after pill within 12 hours. I have no clue when to expect my next period since it's been delaying. Do I still in the high possibility of getting pregnancy?

Hello Anonymous,

The morning after pill can cause a delay in the start of your next period.

You will know if it was effective if you have vaginal bleeding within 3 weeks of taking it.

Hi, thank you. But my period is already late by 2 weeks before intercourse. If next 2 weeks I still have no period, should I do a pregnancy test?

Hello Anonymous,

No, this is not normal. Did you have any vaginal bleeding after taking Postinor 2?

Take a home pregnancy test. Test in the morning using the first urine of the day. Depending on the results, contact your gynecologist or primary care physician.
