Is it safe to take Meprate again to prevent pregnancy or start my period, which is currently two days late, and will using it after recently taking Novelon as emergency contraception cause any long-term side effects or affect my future fertility, especially since I have a history of irregular periods?

Please rest assured that these hormonal medications will not harm your long-term fertility. First, please know that Meprate (medroxyprogesterone) cannot prevent pregnancy. Since your period is late and you recently took Novelon (desogestrel/ethinylestradiol), the most important first step is to take a home pregnancy test. I advise against taking Meprate right now without medical supervision, as combining these hormones can further upset your menstrual cycle, especially given your history of irregular periods. Please consult your gynecologist to safely help regulate your cycle.
