What Causes Delayed Period After Taking Contraceptive Pill?
Hi.. Me and my boyfriend had direct genital rubbing with pre-cum on the head without penetration on 29th of jan. (about 2days after ovulation) and 1 day after that, i took emergency contraception pill. Last month, my period finished on 13th jan. but now, its already 7th feb but my period still didnt come. Do i have risk of getting pregnant?

welcome. you should have a normal period within the next month after taking emergency contraceptive pills . Sometimes, emergency contraception can change the length of your monthly menstrual cycle, making your next period come as much as a week earlier or a week later than usual. If your next period is late, you might consider getting a pregnancy test & consult gynecologist. warning-emergency pills are only be taken once or twice a year,otherwise it may disturb your cycle because it consist of heavy dose of hormones. take care.
