Emergency birth control using the pill - can cause extra bleeding - as the uterine lining responses to the unusually high dose of hormone.
Hopefully this is a one time use - both partners need to assume responsibility for contraception.

It:
It is normal for your period to fluctuate by a few days; the term regular versus irregular is confusing. I say this because a fluctuation of a few days is normal and therefore could be considered a regular period, yet since the days are not exact (i.E 28 day cycle) then this could be considered irregular. Semantics.
If you are a week or more late with your period repeat the pregnancy test.
Best of luck.

My menses are irregular and usually very long. I used norethisthrone 8 pills for four days. My period stopped now came back. Is this normal?
