Could Delayed Periods After Emergency Contraception Mean Pregnancy?
Patient's Query
I am 20F & used to get my period between the 17th and 20th of each month. I had unprotected sex on April 25th and took an emergency contraceptive pill the next day. My last sexual encounter was on April 29th (with protection), and I took another emergency pill that same day for extra safety. After that, my period started on 3rd of May (though I had my last period finished on 23rd April). From then my periods became regular, occurring from the 1st to the 5th of each month. However, today September 20th, and I still have not gotten my period. Could I be pregnant, or is this delay normal?
Answered by Dr. Mohit Saraogi
Sometimes, taking emergency contraceptive pills can mess up your period for a while. Stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances can also make your period late. If you are worried, you can take a pregnancy test. If it's positive, talk to a gynecologist about your options. Remember, irregular periods happen to many people, so try not to stress too much.
