Can my period be delayed as a result of taking the morning-after pill?

Yes, it is possible for your menstrual cycle to be delayed after taking the morning-after pill. This delay is usually around 7 days. If you experience a delay of more than 21 days, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test. If you find yourself taking the morning-after pill frequently, you may want to consider discussing alternative contraceptives with a healthcare provider. It is important to make informed decisions about your sexual health.
