How long does it take for an emergency contraceptive pill to be effective, and when should one expect bleeding or a menstrual period after taking it?

Asked by Female, 23 · 12 days ago

Emergency contraceptive pills, like levonorgestrel, start working quickly to delay ovulation and are most effective the sooner they are taken. Regarding your cycle, it is very common to experience some light spotting within a week of taking the pill. Your next period might arrive a few days earlier or later than expected, and it may be slightly lighter or heavier than usual. If your period is delayed by more than a week, taking a home pregnancy test can provide peace of mind.
