Will taking birth control pills eight days after menstruation affect the delay of menstruation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the withdrawal bleeding caused by emergency contraception usually occurs about a week later. Your next menstrual period is generally expected to be delayed by about 10 days from your original period. However, taking it twice a week can lead to menstrual disorders, bleeding, and prolonged spotting.
Advice: Therefore, it should only be used as a temporary measure and cannot replace regular contraception methods. Menstruation usually returns to normal gradually after stopping the medication, so there is no need to worry too much. You can adopt other contraception methods in the future. Wait for another cycle, and if your period still hasn’t arrived in the next cycle, it is recommended to consult a doctor to identify the cause and regulate your menstrual cycle.
