What are the recommended next steps if my period is delayed by two days after taking emergency contraception within 12 hours of unprotected intercourse fifteen days ago?

Asked by Female, 21 · 14 days ago

It is very common for emergency contraception, such as levonorgestrel, to temporarily disrupt your hormone levels and delay your period by a few days. Since you took the medication within 12 hours of unprotected intercourse, its effectiveness is very high. Because your period is now two days late and fifteen days have passed, taking a home pregnancy test is a reliable and reassuring next step. If it is negative and your period still does not arrive, you can test again in one week. If you have any concerns, your doctor is always there to help.
