Dear tanu,

Wow – that’s a loaded question! Taking a morning after pill right after your period ends can have an impact on your cycle. Sometimes it can cause bleeding right away (which wouldn’t really be a period but rather is what we call withdrawal bleeding); other times it can cause your regular period to come earlier, later or be skipped completely. Because your many pregnancy tests are all showing negative results, my best bet is that the emergency contraception has temporarily skewed your cycle. You’ll most likely have your period come back during this month (October). If it doesn’t, then it would be best to see your doctor. However, it sounds like you are fine. I wouldn’t be too worried if I was you.

Best luck,

Hannah
