What should I do after taking Restart™?Updated a year ago
It's totally normal to have some questions afterwards! Here's some things to keep in mind:
After taking Restart™ you can continue on with your regular birth control method if you have one (for example, continue taking birth control pills).
You will know Restart™ has been effective when you get your next period, which should come at the expected time, or within a week of the expected time. If your period is delayed beyond 1 week, it is possible you may be pregnant. You should get a pregnancy test and follow up with your healthcare professional.
It is not advised that Restart™ be used as a regular birth control method. Consult with your doctor about a birth control method that makes sense for you.
Please know that taking a dose of Restart™ will only protect you from one instance of unprotected sex, it will not prevent unprotected sex over the coming days or weeks. If you have unprotected sex in the future and want to prevent pregnancy, be sure to take a new dose of Restart™ and talk to your doctor about the best birth control options for you.
Your menstrual bleeding patterns may change temporarily after using levonorgestrel. If you find that your period is more than a week late, take a pregnancy test to confirm whether the contraceptive has worked. You can read more here.
