If you are taking a short-acting contraceptive, it generally does not delay ovulation, because short-acting contraceptives inhibit the release of gonadotropin from the hypothalamus, which leads to the suppression of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone secretion, directly causing the body not to ovulate, so it does not cause ovulation delay.
If you are taking an emergency contraceptive, it generally delays ovulation, because emergency contraceptives can affect estrogen secretion in the body, thus inhibiting ovulation. When hormones return to normal, the ovary will continue to ovulate.
