Last year, i had protected sex on October 14, 2016 and got my period after more than a week ( October 24, 2016) but some time again after my period, i'm not sure if it's like after a week or more but my boyfriend and i played around and i accidentally used the same hand i used to play with my boyfriend's private (played it with lotion) to wash my vagina without realizing that i haven't washed my hand yet, it was later that i realized that mistake of mine, so after that i got scared so i used nordette as ECP (ECP = 4 pills for the first dosage and another 4 pills 12 hrs after) and got my withdrawal bleeding a week after if i'm not mistaken because all i know is that in that month, its like i got my period twice, but after getting my withdrawal bleeding, i didn't get my period for the following months, i am now 1 month and 15 or 16 days late, i have been experiencing on and off symptoms since last December 2016, like my breasts really hurt, cramps, backaches, sore body and etc. and also i took a HPT twice (last December 2016) and both came out negative.Could using Nordette as ECP really mess up my period? im really getting paranoid right now.

Hello Mike Samson,

Welcome again to EmpowHER. I am glad you came to us with your concern.

So that I understand you correctly, you had a period in October, took Nordette in early November and had withdrawal bleeding. But, you did not get a period in December and not yet in January.

An emergency contraceptive can cause changes in the menstrual cycle. The next monthly period could start earlier or later than expected, but not by more than five days.

Mike Samson, please call your gynecologist's office to report this and schedule an appointment. You may have had an unusual hormonal imbalance/reaction to Nordette.

Keep us updated,
Maryann

Hi Mike Samson,

I think you need to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist. You need to find out why you have not gotten a period in 49 days.
There is absolutely nothing you can do to induce your period.

Regards,
Maryann
