A member asked:

Can taking 2 pills of unwanted 72 delay my periods for 1 month i had bleeding which was light & lasted for 4 days after 10 days of taking it.pregnent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be hard to tell: Emergency contraception pills are hormones and alter a woman's periods for that month and the month after. One can take a pregnancy test (follow the instructions on the package) about 3 weeks after sex. If still worried, and if the next period doesn't look or seem normal, one can repeat a pregnancy test.
