Birth Control Pills/Irregular periods from morning after pill?

Question
I have always had regular periods! 28-29 days. Until I took that morning after pill in november. I regret it so much today. I just panicked and bought it.

That month, november, the period was normal, came when it was supposed to come. But then in december it didn't come at all. It took 47 days (instead of 28-29) before it came so that means it showed up january 3rd.

Now I'm on day 31-32 and I haven't gotten it yet.

Is this something the morning after pill can do to you?

The pill is Norlevo (I live in Sweden)

Answer
Hi Me,

Unfortunately, yes, the morning after pill can really cause havoc in your regular cycles. I wish more people knew this fact. But I think it is possible that you could also be pregnant if you have had sex. Have you tried a pregnancy test?

If you need a free test, you can go to http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the globe in the upper right hand corner of the page. Let me know what happens. You can email me privately at CHERYL51@aol.com and let me know what happens.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
