Is it normal for my girlfriend's period to be delayed after taking the i-pill, how many days can this delay typically last, and when should she expect her next period to start?

Asked by Female, 19 · 4 days ago

Emergency contraception alters hormone levels to prevent pregnancy, which frequently shifts the menstrual cycle. Typically, her period may be delayed by up to a week, though a delay of a few days is most common. She should generally expect her next cycle around her usual date, or within seven days of it. To help ease your minds, if her period is delayed by more than a week, taking a simple home pregnancy test is a safe and reassuring next step. Please reassure her that this is a very common and expected reaction.
