A member asked:

What does it mean after using the morning after pill and the period comes ealry and skips a day then happens the next day

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not the period: It's not the period that comes early after taking the morning after pill. The morning after pill causes a disruption in the body's cyclical hormone production and the body's response to this disruption is breakthrough bleeding.
