Patient's question:
When will I get my period after taking emergency contraception? I just followed my boyfriend's teasing and didn't use a condom when we had sex. Later, I was upset about getting pregnant and took emergency contraception. But so far, my period has been delayed by about a week.Doctor's answer:
It's not necessarily the case, because taking emergency contraception can also potentially affect changes in menstruation. For example, it may lead to withdrawal bleeding. It may also cause menstrual delay. Additionally, it may result in menstrual irregularities, such as prolonged bleeding. Since it has already been delayed by a week, it's best to wait and see for a while. If it doesn't arrive for an extended period, it's important to seek medical attention and undergo examination and treatment.
