right okay so started taking Utovlan 22nd November to delay my period for a week while I went up to my boyfriends. We had sex for the first time on Friday 28th and I stopped taking Utovlan on the Saturday when I got home. I don't think the condom split but I went to a boots clinic on the Saturday and she said she wouldn't give me the morning after pill because we didn't have unprotected sex. So I got it from a lloyds pharmacy on the Monday and still took it within 72 hours.
If I didn't take the morning after pill, my period would be due now since its been 4 days since I stopped taking Utovlan but nothing's happened. Will the pill delay my period even more? I don't have any cramps or anything suggesting I'm going to get my period soon. I'm so stressed out thinking I could be pregnant, I'm only 18.
Please please help!

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for coming to us for help.
Utovlan, which is marketed in the U.K., contains a synthetic
progestin called norethisterone. According to the package insert, when used to delay a period, you take one tablet three times a day. You begin taking the pill three days before your period is due to start. Your period will start within three days of finishing the tablets.
The morning after pill contains a high dose of levonorgestrel, which is also a synthetic form of progestin.
Anonymous, you have given your body an over dose of progestin and seriously upset the hormonal balance that regulates your menstrual cycle. I suggest you consult the physician who prescribed Utovlan. Your physician is better able to give you guidance regarding when your period will start.
