Taking emergency contraception immediately after intercourse makes it highly effective, reducing your risk of pregnancy to about 1% to 2%. You've taken the right steps. For ongoing protection, contraceptive injections (using generic medroxyprogesterone acetate) are an excellent, highly reliable option. When received on schedule every three months, they are over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy without needing daily action or barriers. Please consult your healthcare provider to discuss if the injection is the right fit for your body.

The i-pill contains levonorgestrel, a hormone that can temporarily disrupt your cycle, often causing your period to be late. Headaches and dizziness are also known side effects of this medication and typically resolve on their own. While a delayed period is a typical reaction to the i-pill, emergency contraception is not 100% effective. To give you peace of mind, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your period is more than a week late.

It is very common to experience a delayed period after taking emergency contraception, as the high dose of hormones can temporarily disrupt your cycle, especially since you already have a history of irregular periods. Regarding your pregnancy test, a negative result is highly reliable if it has been at least 21 days since your last unprotected intercourse. If it has been less than three weeks, I recommend waiting and testing again. Please don't worry, but do consider speaking with a healthcare provider to help regulate your cycles and discuss ongoing, reliable birth control options.

It is very common to experience a delayed period after taking the i-pill (levonorgestrel). This medication contains hormones that temporarily alter your menstrual cycle, which frequently causes your period to be early, late, or lighter than usual. While a delay is a normal side effect, no emergency contraceptive is 100% effective. For your peace of mind, I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than one week. Please try to relax, as stress can also cause delays.

It is very common for your period to be late after taking the i-pill (levonorgestrel). This emergency contraceptive contains hormones that can temporarily disrupt your cycle, delaying your period by a few days or even a week. Since your pregnancy test is negative, this is very reassuring. Stress can also contribute to the delay, so try to rest. However, if your period is delayed by more than a week, or if you experience unusual pain or heavy bleeding, it is best to consult a doctor to confirm the negative result with a blood test and ensure everything is fine.

Yes, there is still a small chance of pregnancy, as emergency contraception like the i-pill is highly effective but not 100% guaranteed. However, having PCOD already causes irregular cycles, and the i-pill itself commonly delays periods. Since your period is five days late, the most reliable way to find peace of mind is to take a home pregnancy test. If it is negative, your delay is likely just due to the hormone-disrupting effects of the medication or your PCOD. Please consult your doctor if you need further guidance and support.
