If an emergency contraceptive pill was taken four hours after unprotected intercourse on the final day of a menstrual period, could a subsequent ten-day delay in menstruation indicate pregnancy, and what are the recommended next steps?

Asked by Female, 19 · 13 days ago

Taking the emergency contraceptive pill so quickly?just four hours after sex?makes it highly effective. Because you were on the final day of your period, your chance of pregnancy was already relatively low. A ten-day delay in your period is a very common side effect of the high hormone dose in emergency contraception, which can temporarily disrupt your cycle. However, to give yourself peace of mind, the best next step is to take a simple home pregnancy test. If it is negative, your period should return soon as your body adjusts.
