How many days after taking birth control pills is it normal for your period to start?

Patient's question:

I am 26 years old this year, and I just got married to my husband. Currently, I don't want to have children. Recently, after having sex with my husband, I took a birth control pill, but I haven't had my period yet. I want to ask the doctor, how many days after taking the birth control pill is it normal to have a period?

Doctor's answer:

Your situation after cohabitation likely involves taking emergency contraception, as it can cause withdrawal bleeding. Therefore, it may lead to another episode of withdrawal bleeding three to four days or six to seven days after taking the medication, though not everyone will experience this. It may also result in a delayed menstrual cycle. Thus, it's important to carefully monitor your condition after taking the medication for the time being. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
