After taking high hormonal emergency pill like I pill one gets withdrawal bleeding 5 to 10 days later, and then new cycle starts. This means if taken near expected period then period gets delayed. As I pill type of tabs have high hormones it is not used as regular family planning method so learn about family planning methods and choose one for future. There are many temporary family planning methods like oral pills, injectable hormones, Intra uterine devices, condoms, diaphragms, safe period, coitus interruptus etc. You must know about success and failure rates of all as well as advantages and dis-advantages of all to decide which suits you the best. May be consult Gynecologist as a couple. You may listen to audio information about family planning.
