What are the recommended next steps if a period is delayed by 10 days after taking emergency contraception, despite obtaining multiple negative home pregnancy tests?

Asked by Female, 24 · 10 days ago

A delayed period is a very common side effect of emergency contraception. Generic emergency contraceptives, such as levonorgestrel, can temporarily disrupt your hormone levels, pushing your cycle back by a week or more. Since you have already had multiple negative home pregnancy tests, pregnancy is highly unlikely. I recommend waiting one more week. In the meantime, try to rest, as stress itself can further delay your period. If your period still hasn't arrived by next week, or if you develop severe abdominal pain, please consult a healthcare provider for a reassuring evaluation.
