View allI recently took the emergency contraceptive pill, and I'm 17 years and 7 months old. I'm kind of worried, will it harm me? Also, I took it around the 50th hour after having sexwill it still be effective? And I'm curious, what are some common side effects of taking the pill? Can this make my period show up later than it usually does?
Taking an emergency contraceptive pill at 17 years 7 months old should not harm you. It is generally safe for use in adolescents. However, it is important to use it as directed. Taking the pill at the 50th hour after unprotected sex may reduce its effectiveness, but it can still work to prevent pregnancy. The general side effects of emergency contraceptive pills may include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, headache, breast tenderness, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns. Your period may be delayed or earlier than usual after taking the pill. It is common for the menstrual cycle to be temporarily disrupted after using emergency contraception. To prevent any potential harm or unwanted side effects, it is important to use emergency contraceptive pills correctly and consider regular contraception methods for future protection.
