A member asked:
I've always had irregular cycles..now i go up to 8 months without a period..could it be because i use to take a lot of day after pills (4 a month) ?

Yes: Emergency contraception contains hormones. By using them, you are actually disrupting your normal hormone pattern . If you would like to have normal menstral cycles and reliable contraception , how about trying a different form of contraception? An oral contraceptive pill could give you great coverage without the severity of cycle irregularity. See you provider for discussion.
