Question
I took the morning-after pill about 2 days after my period ended and about 5 days later I got my period. But then I got my period again 2 weeks later, and now I am waiting for my period. Is that normal?
Answer
The morning after pills contain a lot of hormones and it likely has seriously messed up your cycle. Keep track of your cycle for a month or so, then see your doctor if it does not settle down. In addition, please begin using a reliable method of birth control - the morning after pill is hard on your body.
