Emergency Birth Control Failed? Posted: 01-15-06 11:46am
About a week ago, my girlfriend and I had
sex and the condom broke. About 20 hours
after that happened, she took ebc. About
a week later, she said she had started her
period early and she isn't suppose to
start her period until the first of the
month. She had also complained about
some soreness in the vaginal area. Is
there anything else that could be causing
the bleeding or did the ebc fail??

Ecp can and does cause that "early
period". Ecp is progestin, and progestins
cause irregularity in the cycle that they
were taken in. Yes it is normal that she
did bleed a week later, and a good sign.
You seem like a good b/f to help her do
this. Can she get on regular birth
control?
