One month ago I took the morning after pill. and had been on my period the week before that. So I took the pill and about a week later I was on what seemed like my period but it was not the time I should have been on it. So now I should be on my period but have not gotten it yet. Should I be on it now? Or will I be on it a month after the time I had it when I took the pill??
LM answered Sunday May 10 2009, 11:21 pm: The morning after pill is basically a huge amount of hormones - and it can throw off your cycle. If it's been more than a week after you were supposed to get your period this month, take a pregnancy test to be sure that the morning after-pill worked.
More than likely, you're experiencing a common side effect, which is an irregular period (because you got it at a weird time). It's common and to be expected.
In the future, use a reliable form of birth control - condoms or the pill - to avoid situations like this.
