Is a delayed menstrual period expected after taking emergency contraception (such as the i-pill), especially if the individual experienced temporary bleeding a few days after taking the medication?

Asked by Female, 16 · 8 days ago

Taking emergency contraception like the i-pill (levonorgestrel) delivers a hormone dose that frequently causes temporary side effects. This includes light bleeding or spotting a few days after taking it, and it can also delay your next expected period by a week or more. While this delay is a normal response to the medication, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your period is more than a week late, just for your peace of mind. Please reach out to a doctor if you have severe pain.
