QuestionI had my daughter on july 14th, since I was unable to breast feed ive had a regular period since the start of september, every 28 days. Ive been pretty consistent my whole life ( in 24 years old). Ive neverr had any problems like cysts or fibroids , My last period came on october 25 and ended october 31st. Last week myh husband and I had an accident and I took the after morning pill and I woke up this morning to my period again, only 16 days after my last one. could you please tell me if this is somthing I should be worried about , thanks
AnswerHello Healther from Canada,
The "morning after pill" is a quick course of the birth control pill. It over-rides the normal cycle and so a period will occur after taking it. This is normal and you don't need to worry.
