View Full Version : Should I be worried


Question2

I had unprotected sex a few days before christmas . About 30 minutes after the encounter I went to the pharmacy and purchased the next choice (morning after pill) I took one pill 30 minutes after unprotected sex and the 2nd one exactly 12 hours later as told. A few days later I came on my period . Though lighter than usual I'm assuming it was period. Now a month later I'm about 3 days late and haven't come on my period . Should I be concerned?

Hi Question2... welcome to AMHD,

Odds are great that you have nothing to be concerned about, however, no form of birth control, even emergency contraception, is 100% effective. Any of the "morning after" pills can throw your cycle off at first. Give it another week, if still no period, try a pregnancy test. If it is negative, which it likely will be, see what happens next month when you would expect your period at that time.
