How many days after taking emergency contraception will you have a period?

Patient's question:

I ate something the day before yesterday, it is said that during this period there will be one abnormal break, and a few days later the skin will break out?

Doctor's answer:

After taking emergency contraception, it is not necessarily guaranteed to have withdrawal bleeding. Only a small number of people may experience withdrawal bleeding 2-7 days after taking the medication, and it is not the same for every individual every time they take it. The absence of withdrawal bleeding is not a sign of successful breastfeeding.
Emergency contraception, due to its effects of inhibiting and delaying menopause and suppressing the endometrium, can sometimes cause the next menstrual period to be delayed, which may manifest as early menstruation. It may also lead to a temporary drop in hormone levels in the blood due to the temporary use of the medication, followed by a subsequent withdrawal bleeding after the levels rise again.
