Hard to say: Hard to say for sure, but usually takes between 2-4 days to get a withdrawal bleed after stopping the active pills, and the morning after pill may delay it a longer.

Not sure: Exactly what you did, did you skip the placebo pill and started a new pack immediately. If so, you didnt need the morning after pill. Talk to your gyn, they can work with you on other pill options that can do that all of the time. It is hard to know when you will resume your period, probably in 2 to 3 months.
