Hi,
I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on 8th and 9th nov,took ECP (ipill)within 24hrs(on day-1) and Unwanted-72 on day 2.

Had brown discharge for 2days on 7th day ..
My periods were due on 4th of dec but havent got them yet (its 12th dec now).
Took HPT on 11th dec , came out to be negative .

What could b the possible reason? is it too early to for HPT
Should i wait more or its normal to skip periods after ECP ?

Active User, very eHealthy

The high dose of hormones in the ECP can alter your cycles for a couple of months and when the hormone levels return to normal your cycles should regulate again although they might be a little different to what they were before you took the ECP
