What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking A Morning After Pill?

Hi i Have a quick question about the morning after pill. My girlfriend finished her period on the 19th January and we had unprotected sex on the 24th January however I did not finish in her. She went and got the morning after pill about 30 hours later. She was due her period this month on the 13th of February however she didn t get it so we decided to take a pregnancy test. We took an accuracy home pregnancy test and the result was negative. She wasn t pregnant. But she still hasn t got her period and it s 3 days later. She has small bits of bleeding 6 days before her period was due but it was really light. It lasted about 3/4 days. Just want some advice on what we should do ? Thanks so much.

Hello,

The irregularities in the menstrual cycle being noticed is due to the effects of the morning-after pill.

She is highly unlikely to be pregnant. However, if she d not get her regular period in the next few days, repeat the home pregnancy test.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
