Emergency Contraceptive and Menstrual Delay

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

The use of mifepristone as contraception can potentially delay your periods. It works by interfering with the hormone progesterone, which is essential for the maintenance of pregnancy. Consequently, it can disrupt the normal hormonal balance and potentially delay your menstrual cycle.

Thanks
