Question 1

if i used morning after pill twice a month (levonorgestrel 1.5mg) is it really bad for my body? any side effect other than irregular period?

Accepted Answer

Not bad but: It is not dangerous to do this but a better idea is to get on regular birth control. This will offer more reliable protection.

Question 2

irregular periods. took morning after pill 2 weeks ago and now experiencing pain & shedding of uterus with a drop of blood each time i pee?

Accepted Answer

Breakthrough bleedin: If you keep spotting you may want to see GYN and ultrasound to see what is going on. Seems like your endometrial lining has not shredded completely.

Question 3

i took a morning after pill end of march, then my periods came very early. after that month, i haven't had my period for 2 months now. i usually have irregular periods so after the 1st mint i just left it. is it possible that i'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

HPT: It is hard to know if that was an actual period or med side effect. Any time you have questions about whether or not you are pregnant, it is convenient, inexpensive and accurate to take a home pregnancy test.

Question 4

could the morning after pill (levonelle) be causing breast tenderness 8 weeks after taking it. negative pregnancy test and 3 irregular periods since?

Accepted Answer

No: The levonelle is out of your system at this point but your own hormones can cause breast tenderness. If you are having irregular periods that is a sign that your hormones are out of balance and it would be a good idea to see someone to find out why. If also could be due to a more reliable method of contraception that you are hopefully using now. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes

Question 5

can the morning after pill make u miss a period and be irregular ?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn't miss: Your period altogether. It can throw off your cycle.  Emergency contraception symptoms can include spotting or bleeding, changes in menstrual flow or your period may be late or early.  Notify your gyn if your period is 7 or &gt; days late.

Question 6

i am due on my period tomorrow but i have taken the morning after pill?

Accepted Answer

When did you take it: When relative to your cycle and sex did you take the pill? If you took it at mid cycle, after sex, your cycle may be routine, or it could be disrupted.  If you took it more than 5 days after unprotected sex, it may not be effective, and you be pregnant and get implantation bleeding. So wait to see how your period goes.  If you miss check a home pregnancy test.

Question 7

how long can the morning after pill delay your period ?

Accepted Answer

AIt depends.: It depends on what  stage of your cycle you were when you took it.
You should have a normal period within the next month after taking emergency contraceptive pills (also called "morning after pills" or "day after pills"). Sometimes, emergency contraception can change the length of your monthly menstrual cycle, making your next period come as much as a week earlier or a week later than usual.

Question 8

could my morning after pill be the cause of a skipped/delayed period?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Irregular bleeding after taking a morning-after pill, like Plan B or ella, (ulipristal acetate) is somewhat common. Some women get spotting or bleeding before the next period. Women may also have a heavier or lighter next period, or a period that is early or late. A urine pregnancy test can be done 10-14 days after taking a morning-after pill, to be sure the pill worked.

Question 9

could the morning after pill i took 2 weeks before be delaying my period now?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Anytime you take hormones it can throw off your cycle.  Check a pregnancy test though, the morning after decreases rate of pregnancy, but does not eliminate it.

Question 10

doctors can you tell me when should i expect my period after taking the morning after pill?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: You could experience changes in menstrual flow (spotting, bleeding, early or late period or spotting instead of period).
