A member asked:
If i took emergency contraception a day before my period was expected, when can i expect to get my period? i heard ec can delay it.

Yes it can: Plus emergency contraception would rarely be needed for intercourse the day before your expected period. Why don't you use protection and not have to worry about these things? It also significantly reduces your chances of acquiring an std or hiv.

Early or delayed: Emergency contraception can cause the next period to come sooner or later, but after that, cycles should go back to normal. Be sure to use regular birth control if you are sexually active. There are many options. It's good that you knew about emergency birth control, but regular birth control is more effective.
