Dragonflymagic answered Sunday June 16 2013, 2:46 am: Have you taken a pregnancy test? If it is not positive, then there could be other factors. Just worry and stress will cause a delay in cycle. Sickness will also do that.The morning after pill being an emergency contraceptive could throw you off one month and then stress throw you off more. If I were you, I would plan a visit to planned parenthood or your gyn. Get a check up and let them know ahead that if you are not pregnant at the time you want to get a contraceptive at the same appointment. Don;t put yourself through all this anxiety or you will not be able to enjoy sex as much as you possibly could with the ever present worry you might get pregnant.
Start reading up on contraceptives. The hormonal ones, many women are having not so nice reactions too. >They trick the body into thinking its pregnant so it doesn't release an egg but then the body exhibits weight gain like a pregnant woman gets, also tenderness in the breast. Constant headaches are common. Some even find their lose their libido which is counter productive to the reason you got the b c in the first place, You want to want sex, while on b c, not lose your desire. The list goes on. Not all women get these side effects but a great number do. You might look into non hormonal bc. Spermicide kills the sperm and is used alone or with a diaphragm which you'd have to get measured by dr. for so its a custom snug fit for you. The most carefree is the copper IUD. no hormones. what it does is that the copper reacts with the lining of the uterus so that the lining becomes inhospitable for a fertilized egg to attach itself. Read all the facts on line. Be proactive and make some decisions ahead of your visit as to what you want to try. If you choose to go with shots or the pill, just be knowledgable about the possible side effects and if you have any, then go back and get a prescription for something else.
