For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.are you trying to say that she was told that the morning after pill would bring her period on earlier? If you are then that is incorrect information. Is her period late going by her usual cycle? If it is then get her to take a pregnancy test.
Plus if you are not sure if you are infertile or not why the hell are you having unprotected sex and using the morning after pill as a contraception?

As to how it works....
The emergency contraceptive/morning-after pill has three possible ways in which it can work (as does the regular birth control pill):
Ovulation is inhibited, meaning the egg will not be released;
The normal menstrual cycle is altered, delaying ovulation;
It can irritate the lining of the uterus so that if the first and second actions fail, and the woman does become pregnant, the human being created will die before he or she can actually attach to the lining of the uterus.
In other words, if the third action occurs, her body rejects the living human embryo, and the child will die. This result is a chemical abortion. (Abortion is an act of direct killing that takes the life of a living preborn human being�a life that begins at fertilization.)
So it may be that her taking the pill has delayed her period anyway.
As to finding out for certain if you're firing blanks, see your GP. If he or she is concerned, they can probably arrange a test.

Having thought about it, I don't see how the conclusion that you're firing blanks can be drawn.
The morning after pill will affect an egg whether it's been fertalised by a sperm or not. So whether your sperm are alive and kicking or not is academic.
So, my intial thought still stands - it's her taking the pill that's causing the delayed period. not you.

If I understand correctly what he's getting at: pokanes girlfriend was told that if she had of been pregnant then taking the morning after pill would have terminated it and cause a period. Going along those tlines since she hasn't had a period it means that she was not pregnant from this encounter and therefore he must be shooting blanks.
It's not as simple as that -pregnancy doesn't happen after every unprotected encounter, some people try for months or years until it happens. I wouldn't worry.

Who on earth told her that if she was pregnant the pill would have brought on a period? Complete rubbish! A period will arrive eventually if she is not pregnant (but will most likely be delayed due to the nature of the hormones in the tablets)! The morning after pill will not abort a foetus and bring on a period as suggested!
