Morning After Pill Problem Please Help
Posted: 07-09-07 13:46pm

On 16 April I took the morning after pill levonelle. My period came the following week n the 23rd, approx 10 days early, this lasted 11 days. Then the next one I got was on June 1st. It is now 9 july and my period has not come yet. This will mea I am approaching a 40 day cycle. Is this normal? I know I'm not pregnant obviously. My normal cycle was 32-33 days.

Please help

The morning after pill can cause your cycle to become uneven for several months, coming earlier or later than normal. I wouldn't stress about it, and just wait for your period to start.

Is it possible that i could skip this one? My frend said because my first period after the morning after pill was so long it was probalbly a double period and two eggs were released, therefore there is none for this period. Will I get my period? is this actually normal?

I don't think your friend is right. The number of eggs you release has nothing to do with how heavy your period is.

Actually, you most likely *didn't* release an egg, because that's what the morning after pill prevents.

I do think it is normal to have a confused cycle after the morning after pill. However if you are concerned and want the opinion of a real professional, then go to a gynecologist. When are you due for your yearly pap smear?

Not until december. My doctors on holicays for the next month i think i'll ame an appointment with her when she gets back. Other than that should I just assume I won't be getting my period this month?

I think that is a safe assumption.
