Can having PCOS and taking the i-pill emergency contraceptive about 72 hours after unprotected sex cause my period to be delayed, and will it still come?

Asked by Female, 20 · 3 days ago

Yes, both having PCOS and taking the i-pill (levonorgestrel) can definitely cause your period to be delayed. The i-pill delivers a high dose of hormones to prevent pregnancy, which temporarily disrupts your cycle, and PCOS already causes irregular periods. Your period should still come, but it may be late by a week or more. Because the pill was taken near the 72-hour mark, I gently recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than a week to give yourself peace of mind.
