What are the possible causes of missing periods for several months after using emergency contraception, and is a negative pregnancy test reliable after recent unprotected intercourse in someone with a history of irregular cycles?
It is very common to experience a delayed period after taking emergency contraception, as the high dose of hormones can temporarily disrupt your cycle, especially since you already have a history of irregular periods. Regarding your pregnancy test, a negative result is highly reliable if it has been at least 21 days since your last unprotected intercourse. If it has been less than three weeks, I recommend waiting and testing again. Please don't worry, but do consider speaking with a healthcare provider to help regulate your cycles and discuss ongoing, reliable birth control options.
