Hi Sylvia! This topic is so important especially for younger girls who are afraid and ashamed to ask question like that so they keep it all to themselves and experiment with their bodies without the knowledge. I was one of them. I took my first emergency contraceptive when I was 16.
Hi! Thank you for watching! I know - sadly there's so much confusion around the topics which creates more health issues. I'm glad you think it's providing some benefit😀
Did you think delayed periods after the pill could be for any one of those reasons? Of course, don't forget a FALSE Negative pregnancy test where you could actually BE pregnant following a missed period!! Thanks for watching. Check out this video next - th-cam.com/video/caLRI4bstLs/w-d-xo.html
Hi I have taking the morning after pill plan B on the 6th of August the 6th I was getting cramps in my belly and back and my period hasn't arrive yet and I did a pregnancy test on the 9th of this month the test came out negative..can I get an answer plzz thanks
This has been so helpful. Taken away my worries! I have been using pills for 15 yrs. didn't know that it isn't good. And right now I am experiencing a delay from when I expected my period to come.
Wow, Sylvia! You're a gold mine of knowledge! I had no idea about this reasoning and I learned something new today thanks to you! Don't know where I'd be without your videos!
I had your period on December 3rd and it lasted until December 7th. Then, i had another period on December 30th, which lasted until January 9th. It's now February, and i haven't gotten my period yet. You can imagine how frustrating that can be 😢I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative.
Greetings and peace Dr. Sylvia. I took a Plan B and I am now 28 days late. I have not had my period for 2 months now. I just had a baby 4 months ago, then a month later in October I had my regular cycle. Then in November, I was supposed to get my period at the end of the month according to my period tracking app, which has been pretty accurate. I have been using it for years . I took a Plan B in November, period never came. It’s now December 27th, a day before my 40th birthday, and still no period, and since I missed my period I took a pregnancy test. It came back negative. Today, December 27th 2024, I took a pregnancy just a few minutes ago, and it still came back negative. My husband eluded to the possibility of me being pregnant-menopausal. I guess, if another month goes by, then I will go to the doctor.
Thanks for sharing all the details! Plan B can throw off your cycle, especially if your body is still adjusting after having a baby. The negative pregnancy tests are reassuring, and you haven't mentioned age or other symptoms suggesting menopause. Hormonal shifts after birth and the high-dose hormones in Plan B could be causing the delay. If your period doesn’t show up in the next month, definitely check in with your doctor to rule out anything else.
I had unprotected the last day of my period (minor spotting ) and used a plan B. 5 days later I was spotting brownish blood, very lite for 5 days, which I assumed was a side effect. I was due for my next cycle 21 days later and my cycles are very regular. I am now 9 days late for my regular cycle date and haven't had my version of a regular cycle in over 30 days. So I'm confused and I went to the doctors they checked my ovaries and insides and said everything was fine and no pregnancy.
Hi @EmilyYoda this does sound like a pill effect if the PT is negative and no symptoms/signs of pregnancy. It can be so frustrating, I know. But we cant tell how long the period may be delayed for, so please keep an eye on the cycle, see your Dr if any new symptoms develop. Your cycle should return before too long.
I had the same bleeding 5 days after taking the plan b. I waited until I was late for my period and have now taken 15 at home pregancy tests. All negative was that light brown bleeding maybe a period?
I'm 2 days late,I'm very stressed, can't even sleep and stop thinking..seen lots of people asking for updates on same situation, i will give you the results after 7 days so to give others relief
Hi @AskAwayHealth thank you so much for doing this channel! If emergency pill is taken mulitple times in one cycle, like 4 or 5 times, once during period, then early cycle maybe day7, and mid cycle, how long will ovulation be delayed for? Pills would have been taken either immediately after intercourse or 1hr-2hrs or so....
Hi, thanks for watching. As long as ovulation hasn't already started at the time you have the pill, it's potentially able to delay ovulation each time.
Hi doctor personally i missed my periods for 2 months now my last period was in April and I took the morning after pill 3 to 4 times in a month and also getting negative for pregnancy but am now worried
so i took the pill, bled for like 3 days and haven’t gotten my period since, it’s been 2 months… update: for anyone wondering as of july 26, i am nine months pregnant

Any updates? My girlfriend had her first day of the period on Jan 2. We had unprotected sex on Jan 8. She took the pill on Jan 9 afternoon. She bled for 2 days on Jan 12-13. It is now Feb 4 and no period yet (35 days after the period from the previous month started).
hello doctor, i took ec like in Oct 18 and after that i get my period a week earlier, which is i gotten 2 periods in a month. Now i get very nervous waiting for my second period, it was 7 days late and i tested pregnancy test all of them said negative. Ive had bloating and heavy period cramps between these weeks, does it could be just because of side effect? please answer because i need an reassurance here. Thankyou
my experience so far that’s confusing.. i’m about two weeks late for my period. i took a Plan B the day after my last period on a saturday on my placebo week on birth control. resumed my pill on sunday. i was supposed to get my period during my “period week” and i never got it. after my period i got off birth control which my doctor and i both agreed on and i still haven’t had a period. i had cramps and spotting for two days and don’t know if that was my period or not
Hi Jessica First I agree with you - pill effects can be very confusing!! It’s likely your period delay is a combination of taking that emergency pill - and- discontinuing your regular birth control. Ordinarily after you stop regular birth control, it takes some time for your own natural hormones to start affecting ur womb/ovaries again. Remember they’ve been ‘asleep’ while you were on regular birth control. Now the regular pills are gone, your hormones will gradually start their effects and your periods should resume - this can be after a couple of weeks or more. In this case, as you also took the emergency pill, this can also add an effect like delaying the periods a little. The light spotting can also be an effect of the emergency pill Don’t worry - these are all temporary effects and your period should get back in rhythm - unless you take any more pills. * a pregnancy test is always advised after a delay of more than 7 days to seeing your period when you’ve taken the emergency pill. Cheers
I took the pill Aftera my tests are all negative I took the 1st about 3 weeks after the pill and the second about 6 weeks after the pill. But I still haven't gotten my period?
my period is on oct.8 then oct.13 i took postinor 2,, almost 2 months alredy i no seen my period but i test blood test and urine test but stilll negative i confusing bcoz last time i took postinor 2 but my period delay only 19 days but now the second time why it takes to long almost 2 months alrdy, im worrying now what happen to my period
Hi! Postinor-2 can sometimes disrupt your cycle for a while. If pregnancy tests are negative but your period hasn’t returned, it’s best to see your doctor to rule out any other causes and ease your worries.
thank you very much @ doctor selvia,, but i see doctor alrdy for my medical check up,, blood test and urine test i alrdy done,, but this is my second time i using postinor 2, first i use it takes 19 days only my period delay but this time it take almost 2 month,, thank you for ur response doctor selvia❤🙏
@AskAwayHealth please my period is late 😫 about 5days now I took contraceptive pill,was sick for two weeks too took alot of drugs could it be the reason too or can it be infection 🤔
I took contra 72 on the 8th day of my 28 days cycle and my next period was supposed to come on 30th September but up to today 26th October no period.I went to the hospital the doctor took TVS and didn’t see any fetus blood pregnancy test came out negative and all the home tests are negative I’m worried sick please what should I do ?
Hi babe, please relax. The EC pill can delay periods, and sometimes, it can take a bit longer to get back to your natural flow. Your test results sound reassuring, but you can check in with your doctor again after another 4 weeks if you still have no period or earlier if you develop any new symptoms. (Being stressed won't help, I'm afraid 🙏). Reach me here if you want to chat more - askawayhealth.org/digital-concierge/
My periods are more than a month late now but the pregnancy test is negative,my breasts are tender, and I always feel like I'm going to have periods, what could be the problem?
Hi Dr.Sylvia I took the Ella pill 2 days after I had intercours around the morning time, but haven’t got my period yet it was supposed to come 2 days ago and sometimes stomach be aching and bloated a little bit I don’t know if is it because of the pill or what… this my first time 🙁 I know the pill say I can take it 5 days (120 hrs) but I took it earlier just to be safe
Hi, its good to take it as soon as possible, so earlier is better. It can delay your period for some time - a pregnancy test done 2-3 weeks after sex should guide you. Period delay can sometimes vary from 1 week or more past the due date.
Wow so much info I'm so excited to have found your channel! My partner and I used plan b in the middle of her period (day 8-10ish). Her calculator says her peak ovulation day was ~6 days later. Then she said she got her period 4 days later (2 days before peak ovulation). Does her cycle now start over (as in ovulation will no longer take place this cycle)? Or did it push back ovulation 5ish days (enough time for the hormones to leave the body and resume the original cycle?
Hi, and welcome! Thanks for reaching out. Please use this link to send your question to our email information service. This allows us to obtain more information to help answer the question. askawayhealth.org/email-service/
@@AskAwayHealth Just broadly speaking, if someone takes plan B halfway between the beginning of the period and ovulation, will that likely push back ovulation by 5 days? That's what ive heard
Hi Dr! I have a question. So my period shouldve shown up a week ago but it didnt. So I took a pregnancy test 2 weeks after intercourse and it came out negative. However, I forgot that I shouldnt drink liquids but I did drink a little water before testing. I tested around evening time. But could the pregnancy test still be accurate despite diluted urine since I've waited a good amount of time to test?
Hi Tate 👋🏽, the urine tests are pretty sensitive and should still pick up enough hormone to show if positive or not. The best would be to repeat the test to remove any doubts. Thanks!
Question doctor, i took a plan b on dec 16 and i started bleeding about a week later ( dec 23 ) and its now jan 14 and i have not gotten my period but my pregnancy test are coming out negative. Is there a chance i can be pregnant?
Hi Alondra, if you took the pill before ovulation then it has the best chance to work. Without knowing when you had your last period or ovulation, I can’t tell. However it’s possible the bleeding you had initially is the pill effect - but the pill can also bring your period forward; which may be why you’ve not yet bled again. Keep calm, repeat your test in another week, see your doctor if the period is still delayed and you think you have pregnancy symptoms. Thanks
I'm so much worried about the delay of my period after taking a 21 days pill it's the 5th day now and I'm still waiting 🥺 hope there's nothing wrong with my health conditions
@@Kevtron9000 I had the same thing as the comment above. I took plan b like 3 days after my period bled again after 5 days it was plan b bleeding then just now got my period from that initial first period. 21 days late. Take pregnancy tests 3 weeks after you took plan b. If it comes out negative wait one more week take another one. If that comes negative you’re good. It’s just a waiting game. I saw like 20 to 38 days delay from your last period (not the plan b bleeding) hang in there!!!
@@juliearm564 she ended up having her period and testing negative. I was so freaked out and you reaching out to me seriously meant so much in the depths of such a scary time. Thank you kind stranger
I’m so scared because I took Ella Feb 5th and I haven’t gotten my period for 2 months… I took 2 pregnancy tests one on March 3rd and the other on March 10th 1 week apart from each other and they came back negative. Is there a possibility that I might have gotten a false negative?. Was sexually active on Feb 5th (when I took Ella), 16&17th.
Hi! Took plan b on the 13th of this month (less than 24h after sex), the first day of my fertile window according to an app. Had some light bleeding,same color as a period,2 days before my period was supposed to start. It stopped after about 4 days, and now im one week late. tested 3 weeks after sex, two negative tests. Was it too early to test? Or is it from the pill

Hi doc please answer asap I had an intercourse on the second day of my period. (December 1)Since emergency pills are not available i took several doses of birth control pills at once with 12hour interval. The birthcontrol had levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol in it. I took the first set of pills within 24hours. I calculated the doses i took and i had about 1.5mg of levonogestrel. On december 3 my period stopped. But it came back on december 8 until december 12. On my app tracker, it says my ovulation should be in december 10th. And my fertile window should start on december 5th. But i took the pill on december 2. (But still in 24hours after intercourse) My cycle is usually around 24-26 days. It is also my first time ever on pills Do you think i conceived? Do you think my period will come early or later than usual? Should i be worried?

Thank you so much for the information, Madame. I would like to ask, I took morning after pill (Trust, yuzpe method) within 24 hrs after an unprotected intercourse. 10 days later, I started to see a sticky mucus with reddish to brownish vaginal discharge every time I wiped mine with a tissue. It has continued for almost 4 days now, and I'm having a panick attack. I'm having pregnancy scare and it's killing me. What can you say?
I have kind of the same experience rn, I took the plan b and then got my period early. This was about a month ago. 2 weeks ago or so, I noticed the same thing as you and I’m so worried.
Hi doctor i used contraceptive pill after sex immediately and around May and till now I have not seen my period after doing pregnancy test it came out negative

Dr. I take emergency pills before contact not after contact.its still effective.?bcoz im 10 days now delay.i PT but negative. I want to know if still works the emergency pills if take before sex?
Hello Sylvia, I had a slight encounter with precum last month but there was no penetration. I took the plan B and got my period right on time, but it was lighter than usual. It did last 5 days but the bleeding was less than usual. This month its been over 4 days but I still didnt get my period yet, my periods are usually very regular- is it normal?
It's understandable to feel concerned about changes in your cycle, especially after taking Plan B. Hormonal changes can sometimes affect your period after the MAP. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personal advice.
Thank you so much....i took postinor 2 on July 17 and this is august 15 and i haven't seen my menses... I've done several pregnancy test trip and it all came out negative... I'm 1 week late🥺🥺😢
Hello, i took the pill three days before my initial period date, and i still have got my period. Its been two days since the day i was supposed to get the period
My girlfriend had taken the pill back in December on the 31st and got her period 3 days earlier than expected which was January 9th but now later in February her period is 2 days late, could you explain?
Hi the pill could make the next couple of cycles a lady has after taking them irregular. Of course there are other reasons a period pattern may change - this depends on their medical background. She can keep an eye on her pattern and contact her doctor if she has other symptoms. I’ve also got an email answer service where we can give more specific explanations having gone through her medical background -askawayhealth.org/askawayhealth-email-advice-service/ Best Wishes
Hello doc, i took the plan b pill 4 weeks ago on the 28th of September. I spotted the week after for 5 days and now its the 25th of october but my period is still not here. Been testing and all i get are negatives but i started feeling twinges in my right lower pelvic area last night along with dizzyness, fatigue and nausea. So i tested and still negative. Could this be my period coming, the pill or ovulation? My period is supposed to be here by the end of this month but these symptoms are beginning to worry me despite the negative results
Hi, there's really no way to tell whats happening without tests especially since you've been feeling unwell with nausea/dizziness etc. Please see your Dr to arrange further tests to clarify.
I’m on 28 day birth control pills. As an extra precaution I used a morning after pill after a one time sex. I ended up positive pregnant two weeks later!! How can this happen?
Good evening, I took the pill last month and I also saw my period last month. But I’m 1 say late to see my period. Cause it be the side effects of the post pill?
Hello Cecilia The bleeding you saw last month may have been a period - but it could also have been a side effect of the pill. Depending on when you took the pill (early or late in your cycle, the period can be delayed as a normal effect of the pill). The advice is to do a pregnancy test if the period is late by 7 days; so please don't assume until then that this is a pill side effect only. You can check this video as well - th-cam.com/video/UurBf7X5CEk/w-d-xo.html Best Wishes
So my Gf used yuzpe/nordette method tomorrow morning after having unprotected sex using pull-out method. her ovulation day was tomorrow after taking the pills. Is it normal that she was dry on her ovulation day? is it because of the pill and will she have her period?
Goodevening doc. I have a 31 days cycle, sometimes 29..i was suppposed to see my period on the 19th of march. I had sex on the 16th and took postinor on the 18th. My period is late, and i'm really worried. I did pt test, its negative. Could emergency pills delay period when ovulation has passed considering the fact that i had sex few days to the date of my period. I'd really appreciate if i get a response. Thank you
Hi im on the same pill. Ive done taking my first pack but didnt get any period at all. I continue taking the 2nd pack of my pill , im on my 4th day now but still the period still didnt come up. Do you have any experience just like mine? Thankyou❤
So I took an emergency contraceptive after my period was finished and then my period came and ended however I took another one exactly 1 week after that and then my period didn't come until 19days after it was due. I took a test and it came back negative. It's now 3 months after and my period is on track but I am having cramps and my belly is all of a sudden bloated. Is it possible that I am pregnant?
Hi Kay, if you've not had any sex in the 3 months since the last test, and you are having regular menstrual bleeds, it seems pregnancy is unlikely but you can request a blood pregnancy test to be sure. Best Wishes.
Thank you for sharing your concern. While missing a period while on contraceptive pills can happen for various reasons, including hormonal effects of the pill itself, pregnancy is a possibility if pills weren’t taken as directed. Taking a pregnancy test to confirm and following up with your healthcare provider for guidance is a good idea. Wishing you clarity and peace of mind soon!
I'm Pakistani and first time I take ecp tab and spend 7 month my periods are so little bits means in every month seven days I release drop so little kinds every day 3 to 4 drops before my periods are very nice condition I m very 😢 in condition plz help
I missed my periods for 10 days then I checked by over the counter pregnancy test strips. It was negative so I called my GP they told me to take emergency contraceptive pills. I still haven't got my periods 15 days over than my expected period date. What should I do. Should I get my blood test to check pregnancy?
It's important to consult your GP again, especially since it's been a while since your expected period. A blood test can provide more accurate results regarding pregnancy. Take care of yourself!
Hi Vikkie, the studies we have tell us taking more than 1 emergency pill per cycle can make periods irregular. This could mean delays of a few or several days; or unscheduled bleeding and the length/ duration can be different for each woman. Thanks
Hi ma'am sylvia I watch ur video can I ask some question?plzz.i have intercourse to my husband last Oct.2.but its withdrawal,and Oct.16 its also withdrawal but I'm worried so I take an emergency contraseptive pills after intercourse.my last period is Sept.25.im so worried I haven't period until now I take my pregnancy test its a negative...what should I do?I'm keeping in touch to ur respond ma'am thanks😊
Hi Marilyn, as explained in the video, the pill can delay your period, make it come early or have no effect on the period. You can repeat the test after a week, or contact your doctor if you develop any sign of illness.
Hi, ur video so helpful but I want to ask, my girlfriend is taking emergency kb pills but it's been more than 2 weeks that blood spots have come out, is that normal or something else?? She so panic. Thnk u doc
Hi, and thank you. It's not unusual to have some slight bleeding after taking the emergency pill. But it's important that if the period is delayed, do a pregnancy test. The earlier bleeding may suggest something other than the pill side effect like implantation bleeding.
Is it true that family planning pills causes cervical cancer??what are the side effect pls Doc I have been taking family planning( levofem) pills for some months now before hubby said that I should stop it, now my period is suppose to come on 9th and am yet to see it. Am scared
Hi AMA thanks for your question. I don't know when last you saw your period so I can't give more specific information about why the period may be late, but one of the effects of the regular, combined pill is to make the periods lighter and more regular in most women. If you have only been taking it for a few months, it could be that your body is still getting used to the hormones and usually after 3 months your menstrual pattern becomes regular. *If you have missed the pill in the last few weeks please do a pregnancy test.* In respect if cervical cancer, here are the facts: 1. The combined pill (example Levofem) does not *cause* cervical cancer 2. However, there is a small risk of getting cervical cancer if a woman uses the combined pill regularly for *more than 5 years* 3. That risk stops or disappears when the woman stops taking the pill. So that by 10 years after a lady has stopped the pill, she is at the same risk of getting cervical cancer as a woman who never used the pill. I hope this helps but please recall that other factors are strongly linked to having cervical cancer like HPV infection, having many sexual partners, smoking and others - read my post here for more around this - askawayhealth.org/cervical-cancer-awareness-what-you-should-know/. If you can, make sure you attend your smear tests regularly to monitor your health and reduce any risk of cervical cancer. Best Wishes Dr Sylvia

I have a question and your video explains a lot 😌but just to ease my mind last month in May I had a accidental moment with my boyfriend and I took a plan B the same day and as quick as possible and my period came on early than it normally do and it was still the 7 day time frame of how my period normally last but now it’s a new month June and it’s almost over with I still haven’t seen my period I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative and I haven’t had no weird feeling besides my typical feeling like my period should be on. What should I do?
Hi, Letta thanks for watching I don't know where in your cycle you met with your bf, but given that you used the pill ASAP, it's likely worked - the delay is possibly one of the pill effects. If you send your last cycle details, we could look at it closely. Link: (It allows us to get more details about the problem) askawayhealth.org/askawayhealth-email-service-2/

Doctor can i ask if what to do if my period not come in my 7 free day pill should i continue my another pack of pill i have a pcos i hope you answer my question thank you ..
Hello Rein, I can’t be specific so I would advise you speak to your doctor. With PCOS, you may have irregular periods and this may explain your situation - * but I cannot say so for certain. In order to continue the contraceptive protection, we advise ladies to continue taking the pill after their break except for any serious reason whether they had a period or not. However if they have missed some pills or could be pregnant this may also explain why the period is delayed and why to speak to their doctor to advise specifically. Thanks
@@reinrya2663 You can start the pill any time you wish but use a condom for 7 days because it will not resume working immediately. Also, remember if you skip the pill for more than 1 day and have sex, you can fall pregnant - then you need the emergency pill.
Hi, I took three plan b pills in one month. My period comes late in the month and that month it didn’t come I’m assuming it’s because of those pills.

Important topic especially for the 10% of women whose period is delayed because of the pill.
Thank you, Dr John!
Hi Sylvia! This topic is so important especially for younger girls who are afraid and ashamed to ask question like that so they keep it all to themselves and experiment with their bodies without the knowledge. I was one of them. I took my first emergency contraceptive when I was 16.
Hi! Thank you for watching! I know - sadly there's so much confusion around the topics which creates more health issues. I'm glad you think it's providing some benefit😀
@@AskAwayHealth for sure 🌸
please tell me about bleeding after taking this pill and how many months did your period became regular??? plzz reply
i was 13 😭
i’ve been bleeding for 11 days now i only last 6 days …
Did you think delayed periods after the pill could be for any one of those reasons? Of course, don't forget a FALSE Negative pregnancy test where you could actually BE pregnant following a missed period!! Thanks for watching. Check out this video next - th-cam.com/video/caLRI4bstLs/w-d-xo.html

I had your period on December 3rd and it lasted until December 7th. Then, i had another period on December 30th, which lasted until January 9th. It's now February, and i haven't gotten my period yet. You can imagine how frustrating that can be 😢I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative.
Same situation like this.
Do you feel any period cramps but no periods??
@@Rukhsar2114 Yes.
The information every woman needs to know! This was very helpful to me.
Hi, I'm so pleased to hear that. Thanks for watching
Greetings and peace Dr. Sylvia. I took a Plan B and I am now 28 days late. I have not had my period for 2 months now. I just had a baby 4 months ago, then a month later in October I had my regular cycle. Then in November, I was supposed to get my period at the end of the month according to my period tracking app, which has been pretty accurate. I have been using it for years . I took a Plan B in November, period never came. It’s now December 27th, a day before my 40th birthday, and still no period, and since I missed my period I took a pregnancy test. It came back negative. Today, December 27th 2024, I took a pregnancy just a few minutes ago, and it still came back negative. My husband eluded to the possibility of me being pregnant-menopausal. I guess, if another month goes by, then I will go to the doctor.
Thanks for sharing all the details! Plan B can throw off your cycle, especially if your body is still adjusting after having a baby. The negative pregnancy tests are reassuring, and you haven't mentioned age or other symptoms suggesting menopause. Hormonal shifts after birth and the high-dose hormones in Plan B could be causing the delay. If your period doesn’t show up in the next month, definitely check in with your doctor to rule out anything else.
It could be a shocker and a source of worry for some women. This video is a must-watch for all of us. Information is indeed power.👍🏾👍🏾
Well said! Thanks for watching!
Great information as always, Dr. Sylvia!

I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks 😊
@@AskAwayHealth you welcome 😊.
I had unprotected the last day of my period (minor spotting ) and used a plan B. 5 days later I was spotting brownish blood, very lite for 5 days, which I assumed was a side effect. I was due for my next cycle 21 days later and my cycles are very regular. I am now 9 days late for my regular cycle date and haven't had my version of a regular cycle in over 30 days. So I'm confused and I went to the doctors they checked my ovaries and insides and said everything was fine and no pregnancy.
Hi @EmilyYoda this does sound like a pill effect if the PT is negative and no symptoms/signs of pregnancy.
It can be so frustrating, I know.
But we cant tell how long the period may be delayed for, so please keep an eye on the cycle, see your Dr if any new symptoms develop. Your cycle should return before too long.
Did you end up getting it that’s currently my problem
I had the same bleeding 5 days after taking the plan b. I waited until I was late for my period and have now taken 15 at home pregancy tests. All negative was that light brown bleeding maybe a period?

Hi @AskAwayHealth thank you so much for doing this channel! If emergency pill is taken mulitple times in one cycle, like 4 or 5 times, once during period, then early cycle maybe day7, and mid cycle, how long will ovulation be delayed for? Pills would have been taken either immediately after intercourse or 1hr-2hrs or so....
Hi, thanks for watching.
As long as ovulation hasn't already started at the time you have the pill, it's potentially able to delay ovulation each time.
Hi doctor personally i missed my periods for 2 months now my last period was in April and I took the morning after pill 3 to 4 times in a month and also getting negative for pregnancy but am now worried

hello doctor, i took ec like in Oct 18 and after that i get my period a week earlier, which is i gotten 2 periods in a month. Now i get very nervous waiting for my second period, it was 7 days late and i tested pregnancy test all of them said negative. Ive had bloating and heavy period cramps between these weeks, does it could be just because of side effect? please answer because i need an reassurance here. Thankyou
Hi there, did you get your period eventually
Hi Sylvia l have missed monthly period for three months what might be a problem?
my experience so far that’s confusing.. i’m about two weeks late for my period. i took a Plan B the day after my last period on a saturday on my placebo week on birth control. resumed my pill on sunday. i was supposed to get my period during my “period week” and i never got it. after my period i got off birth control which my doctor and i both agreed on and i still haven’t had a period. i had cramps and spotting for two days and don’t know if that was my period or not
Hi Jessica
First I agree with you - pill effects can be very confusing!!
It’s likely your period delay is a combination of taking that emergency pill - and- discontinuing your regular birth control.
Ordinarily after you stop regular birth control, it takes some time for your own natural hormones to start affecting ur womb/ovaries again.
Remember they’ve been ‘asleep’ while you were on regular birth control.
Now the regular pills are gone, your hormones will gradually start their effects and your periods should resume - this can be after a couple of weeks or more.
In this case, as you also took the emergency pill, this can also add an effect like delaying the periods a little.
The light spotting can also be an effect of the emergency pill
Don’t worry - these are all temporary effects and your period should get back in rhythm - unless you take any more pills.
* a pregnancy test is always advised after a delay of more than 7 days to seeing your period when you’ve taken the emergency pill.
Cheers
I took the pill Aftera my tests are all negative I took the 1st about 3 weeks after the pill and the second about 6 weeks after the pill. But I still haven't gotten my period?
Hy i took the pill last week and it's 😢 now the seventh day still no period 🤦
my period is on oct.8 then oct.13 i took postinor 2,, almost 2 months alredy i no seen my period but i test blood test and urine test but stilll negative i confusing bcoz last time i took postinor 2 but my period delay only 19 days but now the second time why it takes to long almost 2 months alrdy, im worrying now what happen to my period
Hi! Postinor-2 can sometimes disrupt your cycle for a while. If pregnancy tests are negative but your period hasn’t returned, it’s best to see your doctor to rule out any other causes and ease your worries.
thank you very much @ doctor selvia,, but i see doctor alrdy for my medical check up,, blood test and urine test i alrdy done,, but this is my second time i using postinor 2, first i use it takes 19 days only my period delay but this time it take almost 2 month,, thank you for ur response doctor selvia❤🙏

@AskAwayHealth please my period is late 😫 about 5days now I took contraceptive pill,was sick for two weeks too took alot of drugs could it be the reason too or can it be infection 🤔
I took contra 72 on the 8th day of my 28 days cycle and my next period was supposed to come on 30th September but up to today 26th October no period.I went to the hospital the doctor took TVS and didn’t see any fetus blood pregnancy test came out negative and all the home tests are negative I’m worried sick please what should I do ?
Hi babe, please relax. The EC pill can delay periods, and sometimes, it can take a bit longer to get back to your natural flow. Your test results sound reassuring, but you can check in with your doctor again after another 4 weeks if you still have no period or earlier if you develop any new symptoms. (Being stressed won't help, I'm afraid 🙏). Reach me here if you want to chat more - askawayhealth.org/digital-concierge/

I am in the same situation, did you finally got your period?
Hi Dr.Sylvia I took the Ella pill 2 days after I had intercours around the morning time, but haven’t got my period yet it was supposed to come 2 days ago and sometimes stomach be aching and bloated a little bit I don’t know if is it because of the pill or what… this my first time 🙁 I know the pill say I can take it 5 days (120 hrs) but I took it earlier just to be safe
Hi, its good to take it as soon as possible, so earlier is better.
It can delay your period for some time - a pregnancy test done 2-3 weeks after sex should guide you. Period delay can sometimes vary from 1 week or more past the due date.
@@AskAwayHealth ok thank you so much!! 💕💕💕
Wow so much info I'm so excited to have found your channel! My partner and I used plan b in the middle of her period (day 8-10ish). Her calculator says her peak ovulation day was ~6 days later. Then she said she got her period 4 days later (2 days before peak ovulation). Does her cycle now start over (as in ovulation will no longer take place this cycle)? Or did it push back ovulation 5ish days (enough time for the hormones to leave the body and resume the original cycle?

@@AskAwayHealth Just broadly speaking, if someone takes plan B halfway between the beginning of the period and ovulation, will that likely push back ovulation by 5 days? That's what ive heard
Hi Dr! I have a question. So my period shouldve shown up a week ago but it didnt. So I took a pregnancy test 2 weeks after intercourse and it came out negative. However, I forgot that I shouldnt drink liquids but I did drink a little water before testing. I tested around evening time. But could the pregnancy test still be accurate despite diluted urine since I've waited a good amount of time to test?
Hi Tate 👋🏽, the urine tests are pretty sensitive and should still pick up enough hormone to show if positive or not.
The best would be to repeat the test to remove any doubts.
Thanks!
I have my period twice and one month is that normal ?
Question doctor, i took a plan b on dec 16 and i started bleeding about a week later ( dec 23 ) and its now jan 14 and i have not gotten my period but my pregnancy test are coming out negative. Is there a chance i can be pregnant?
Hi Alondra, if you took the pill before ovulation then it has the best chance to work.
Without knowing when you had your last period or ovulation, I can’t tell.
However it’s possible the bleeding you had initially is the pill effect - but the pill can also bring your period forward; which may be why you’ve not yet bled again.
Keep calm, repeat your test in another week, see your doctor if the period is still delayed and you think you have pregnancy symptoms.
Thanks
I'm so much worried about the delay of my period after taking a 21 days pill it's the 5th day now and I'm still waiting 🥺 hope there's nothing wrong with my health conditions

@@Kevtron9000 I had the same thing as the comment above. I took plan b like 3 days after my period bled again after 5 days it was plan b bleeding then just now got my period from that initial first period. 21 days late. Take pregnancy tests 3 weeks after you took plan b. If it comes out negative wait one more week take another one. If that comes negative you’re good. It’s just a waiting game. I saw like 20 to 38 days delay from your last period (not the plan b bleeding) hang in there!!!

Hi doc please answer asap
I had an intercourse on the second day of my period. (December 1)Since emergency pills are not available i took several doses of birth control pills at once with 12hour interval. The birthcontrol had levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol in it.
I took the first set of pills within 24hours.
I calculated the doses i took and i had about 1.5mg of levonogestrel.
On december 3 my period stopped. But it came back on december 8 until december 12.
On my app tracker, it says my ovulation should be in december 10th. And my fertile window should start on december 5th. But i took the pill on december 2. (But still in 24hours after intercourse)
My cycle is usually around 24-26 days.
It is also my first time ever on pills
Do you think i conceived? Do you think my period will come early or later than usual? Should i be worried?

Hello Sylvia, I had a slight encounter with precum last month but there was no penetration. I took the plan B and got my period right on time, but it was lighter than usual. It did last 5 days but the bleeding was less than usual. This month its been over 4 days but I still didnt get my period yet, my periods are usually very regular- is it normal?
It's understandable to feel concerned about changes in your cycle, especially after taking Plan B. Hormonal changes can sometimes affect your period after the MAP. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personal advice.

I’m on 28 day birth control pills. As an extra precaution I used a morning after pill after a one time sex. I ended up positive pregnant two weeks later!!
How can this happen?
When you take a morning after pill with birth control it cancels out for some reason and you will more than likely end up pregnant
Good evening, I took the pill last month and I also saw my period last month. But I’m 1 say late to see my period. Cause it be the side effects of the post pill?
Hello Cecilia
The bleeding you saw last month may have been a period - but it could also have been a side effect of the pill.
Depending on when you took the pill (early or late in your cycle, the period can be delayed as a normal effect of the pill).
The advice is to do a pregnancy test if the period is late by 7 days; so please don't assume until then that this is a pill side effect only.

I am having contraceptives pills but no period.. Is that will be pregnant?
Thank you for sharing your concern. While missing a period while on contraceptive pills can happen for various reasons, including hormonal effects of the pill itself, pregnancy is a possibility if pills weren’t taken as directed. Taking a pregnancy test to confirm and following up with your healthcare provider for guidance is a good idea. Wishing you clarity and peace of mind soon!
I'm Pakistani and first time I take ecp tab and spend 7 month my periods are so little bits means in every month seven days I release drop so little kinds every day 3 to 4 drops before my periods are very nice condition I m very 😢 in condition plz help

I still haven't got my periods 15 days over than my expected period date. What should I do. Should I get my blood test to check pregnancy?
It's important to consult your GP again, especially since it's been a while since your expected period. A blood test can provide more accurate results regarding pregnancy. Take care of yourself!
How long should period be delayed if emergency pills was taken 4 times in one cycle within 18 days to the next cycle?
Hi Vikkie, the studies we have tell us taking more than 1 emergency pill per cycle can make periods irregular.
This could mean delays of a few or several days; or unscheduled bleeding and the length/ duration can be different for each woman.
Thanks

Hi Marilyn, as explained in the video, the pill can delay your period, make it come early or have no effect on the period.
You can repeat the test after a week, or contact your doctor if you develop any sign of illness.
Hi, ur video so helpful but I want to ask, my girlfriend is taking emergency kb pills but it's been more than 2 weeks that blood spots have come out, is that normal or something else?? She so panic. Thnk u doc
Hi, and thank you.
It's not unusual to have some slight bleeding after taking the emergency pill. But it's important that if the period is delayed, do a pregnancy test. The earlier bleeding may suggest something other than the pill side effect like implantation bleeding.
I used 2 Pills different days 8 days before my periods now I didnt get my periods yet what should I do 😢
Is it true that family planning pills causes cervical cancer??what are the side effect pls Doc
I have been taking family planning( levofem) pills for some months now before hubby said that I should stop it, now my period is suppose to come on 9th and am yet to see it. Am scared
Hi AMA thanks for your question.
I don't know when last you saw your period so I can't give more specific information about why the period may be late, but one of the effects of the regular, combined pill is to make the periods lighter and more regular in most women.
If you have only been taking it for a few months, it could be that your body is still getting used to the hormones and usually after 3 months your menstrual pattern becomes regular.
*If you have missed the pill in the last few weeks please do a pregnancy test.*
In respect if cervical cancer, here are the facts:
1. The combined pill (example Levofem) does not *cause* cervical cancer
2. However, there is a small risk of getting cervical cancer if a woman uses the combined pill regularly for *more than 5 years*
3. That risk stops or disappears when the woman stops taking the pill. So that by 10 years after a lady has stopped the pill, she is at the same risk of getting cervical cancer as a woman who never used the pill.
I hope this helps but please recall that other factors are strongly linked to having cervical cancer like HPV infection, having many sexual partners, smoking and others - read my post here for more around this - askawayhealth.org/cervical-cancer-awareness-what-you-should-know/.
If you can, make sure you attend your smear tests regularly to monitor your health and reduce any risk of cervical cancer.
Best Wishes

I have a question and your video explains a lot 😌but just to ease my mind last month in May I had a accidental moment with my boyfriend and I took a plan B the same day and as quick as possible and my period came on early than it normally do and it was still the 7 day time frame of how my period normally last but now it’s a new month June and it’s almost over with I still haven’t seen my period I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative and I haven’t had no weird feeling besides my typical feeling like my period should be on. What should I do?
Hi, Letta thanks for watching
I don't know where in your cycle you met with your bf, but given that you used the pill ASAP, it's likely worked - the delay is possibly one of the pill effects.
If you send your last cycle details, we could look at it closely. Link:

I’ve had the same thing…I got my period for about 2 days very light after the pill but this month I’m now 8 days late with two negative pregnancy tests…
Did you end up getting your period back?
@@AskAwayHealth Thank you I know I'm so late on replying, but everything turn out fine I ended up getting my cycle I miss the whole month of June and on July 3rd I had my normal 7 day cycle and making sure I'm taking safe precautions 😌
@@frankielee5260 I did I miss that month of June, but it came on the 3rd of July and it was my normal cycle days cause I made sure I didn't do anything for safe measures.
@@lettawilliams2689 I'm glad it's turned out OK, it can be so distressing trying to work out what's going on 😅
Thank you so much, Ma.
I had unprotected sex on the 31st of July which was 5 days after my period and 9 days to my ovulation date according to an app. I took the ECP on the same night and the second pill 12 hours later.
My period is expected to come this August between 21 and 23, but I have not seen it yet. I am 5 days late and I am so scared because my husband and I do not plan on having a baby yet. I had slight menstrual cramps, but there is no period yet. I have not done a pregnancy test yet.
Please, I will appreciate your kind response. Could it mean that I am pregnant?
Are you pregnant?
@redeverything2539 No, I am not.
I took a pregnancy test that came out negative. Some days later, my period came.
Doctor can i ask if what to do if my period not come in my 7 free day pill should i continue my another pack of pill i have a pcos i hope you answer my question thank you ..
Hello Rein,
I can’t be specific so I would advise you speak to your doctor.
With PCOS, you may have irregular periods and this may explain your situation - * but I cannot say so for certain.
In order to continue the contraceptive protection, we advise ladies to continue taking the pill after their break except for any serious reason whether they had a period or not.
However if they have missed some pills or could be pregnant this may also explain why the period is delayed and why to speak to their doctor to advise specifically.
Thanks
@@AskAwayHealth thank you doctor .. if i skip my althea pills, what is the best time to continue back my pill. If i want to take again the pill.
@@reinrya2663 You can start the pill any time you wish but use a condom for 7 days because it will not resume working immediately. Also, remember if you skip the pill for more than 1 day and have sex, you can fall pregnant - then you need the emergency pill.
@@AskAwayHealth thank you doctor but i am sure im not pregnant coz my partner is lesbian . Anyway thank you so much doc for your respond.
@@reinrya2663 No problem.
Hi, I took three plan b pills in one month. My period comes late in the month and that month it didn’t come I’m assuming it’s because of those pills. So my period didn’t come last month and all the pregnancy tests say negative. I have no symptoms I’m just praying my cycle goes back to normal this month.

My girlfriend had her period on the 15th of August and ended it on the 19th of the same month. We had sex on 22nd August and she took in emergency pills (contraceptive) she has to see her period on 11th of September but yet still she hasn't seen it and besides she has done pregnancy test twice and it is still negative?

My menstrual cycle is 30 days. I had a menstrual period 5 January, I had sex on 13 January and then I mistakenly counted my dangerous days, 14 January I swallowed emergingor pills so I will be able to get my days back on 4th February but so far it is 8th February and I have not menstruated and I do not see any symptoms. Let me know if I have a problem or is it normal?

Yes.
