A member asked:

Hi , i took emergency contraceptive and now i have missed my periods and im not sure what to do ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Emergency contraception" after unprotected sex is essentially a birth control pill , and is not 100% protective against pregnancy. At 39 years of age, periods are frequently delayed b/c of delays in ovulation, so obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about possible pregnancy.
