What should I do if my period hasn't come after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

Previously, my menstrual cycle was always very regular. For the past few months, I have been taking emergency contraception every time. It was supposed to come on the 1st of this month, but it hasn't arrived yet. The test is negative. What's wrong with me? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills may affect the menstrual cycle, which could be a normal phenomenon. Please don't worry.
But it's best to have a blood HCG test for more accurate results to rule out pregnancy.
Additionally, please don't take emergency contraception pills multiple times in a short period.
In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can have some impact on women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care.
Contraceptive users should focus on self-care, such as adjusting their diet, staying warm, and avoiding colds.
