The morning after pill.

[everygirlneedsadvice]

Alright, I took the morning after pill twice in a period of one month.. I know it wasn't the best of choices & I should get onto a form of contraceptive and I will but besides that Im scared of what this now may mean for me. The last time I took it was give or take 2 and a half weeks ago and the other one was today 01/11/16. I havn't had my period although 4 days after taking the last one I had a very light period for a day and a half. Im not sure if im even going to get my period because it was due on the 24th of October. I know the pill delays by 7 days and it snow 8 days late and on top of that I took another morning after this morning so im pretty dead sure I now wont get any form of period. Does anyone know how this may affect my hormones and anything I can do to help balance my hormones out? Im actually just terrified of what may or may not be happening to me.

Hi.  Actually your period could be irregular for the next 2 to 3 months.  The morning after pill (and x 2 for you) is a big whopping dose of hormones that rush in and upset the system (how it prevents conception from occurring) and then it takes a while for things to normalize.  So, I would not worry but do know that the next couple to few months will be likely very unpredictable with regards to your cycle.  

This means spotting, no period, period too often, etc.  as those hormones work their way out of your system.  

It also means that you don't know when you'll next ovulate.  Right now, more than ever, it is essential to use good birth control and not have unprotected sex.  Until you get on the pill, buy some condoms.  

good luck
