how long will the morning after pill delay you r period?

Answer 1

Plan B® is an emergency contraceptive that can still prevent a pregnancy after contraceptive failure or unprotected sex.


Plan B® should be taken within 3 days (72 hours) of unprotected sex and can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89%. But the sooner you take it the more effective it will be.


Plan B® is not RU-486 (the abortion pill); it will not work if you are already pregnant.


Ask your healthcare professional for a prescription in advance, so that it will be there for you — in time — if you ever need it.
Plan B® is not a substitute for routine birth control. It’s important to remember that Plan B® does not protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted disease (STD).

Important Safety Information

Plan B® is used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.

Plan B® should not be used if you are already pregnant (because it will not work), if you are allergic to levonorgestrel or any of the ingredients in Plan B®, or for regular birth control.

Menstrual bleeding may be heavier or lighter, earlier or later after taking Plan B®. If your period is more than a week late, pregnancy should be considered.

Answer 2

It didn't delay my period. I really don't think that the morning after pill will delay your period. It is just a double dose of the regular pill that raises your hormone levels, so you don't ovulate. Remember that it is the kind of pill that you take only once. SO it will do nothing for you in the 'period' sense.

Answer 3

It doesn´t delay it, it makes you get it a few days later.

Answer 4

It didn't delay mine. So it depends on the person I guess.

Answer 5

Didn't delay mine at all.

Answer 6

i've taken it twice and it never delayed mine.

Answer 7

no delay.
