If an emergency contraceptive pill is taken shortly after a menstrual period ends, is light bleeding one week later considered a normal period, when should the next regular cycle be expected, and is there a risk of pregnancy if menses has not returned after 32 days?

Asked by Female, 21 · 13 days ago

It is very common to experience light bleeding or spotting about a week after taking emergency contraception; this is a normal side effect of the hormones and not your regular period. Your next cycle might be delayed by a few days or even a week. Since it has been 32 days and your period has not returned, there is a small risk of pregnancy, as emergency pills are not 100% effective. Please don't worry, but I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test now for peace of mind. If it is negative and your period still does not arrive in another week, please consult your healthcare provider.
