Is it normal to experience a delayed period one month after taking emergency contraception, and what is the likelihood of pregnancy in this situation?

Asked by Female, 21 · 14 days ago

It is very common to experience a delayed period after taking emergency contraception, such as levonorgestrel. These medications use hormones to delay ovulation, which can temporarily disrupt your cycle and cause your next period to be late, early, or different in flow. While a delay is a known side effect, we also want to rule out pregnancy. If you haven't already, taking a home pregnancy test is the most reliable way to get peace of mind. If the test is negative and your period is more than a week late, please consult a healthcare provider for guidance. You are doing the right thing by checking in.
