    No signs of bleeding after morning after pill
    Hi, my girlfriend took the morning after pill about two weeks ago and she has not bled yet. The first time she took it she said she spotted within a week or so. We're both worried because her next period is in about another week and a half. I know that a period can be delayed or come early due to the morning after pill, but since she took it before and it came early that time, doesn't it mean that it should come early this time again if she isn't pregnant? Or is is just a completely random thing each time due to the hormone imbalance? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    She was on birth control for two months prior to use having sex. We used the morning after pill in less than 24 hours after the unprotected session and it was during her infertile time of her cycle.

    Please understand that there is no form of birth control that is 100% effective. That being said, she is now going to have to wait to see if her period comes. If it doesn't she should take a HPT using first morning urine.

    The morning after pill should not be used frequently. It is considered an emergency form of contraception and can have some serious side effects if used often.
