Does Intake Of Levonorgestrel Help In Delaying Menstruation?
Question: Not wanting to get pregnant , my wife took postpone72 aruond the 30th day ( she ha normal cycle of 30 days ) , the very evening she got her normal periods . Will taking levonorgesterol 1.5mg prolong her periods or will she get intermenstrual bleed again as progesterone withdrawal ?
Please answer.
Please answer.
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to have withdrawal bleeding
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Taking postpone 72 just before periods is unlikely to cause any further withdrawal bleeding due to hormonal changes.
However, the next periods can be delayed by 2-3 weeks due to the hormonal effect of the emergency contraceptive pill.
Chances of pregnancy are nil.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
