Could Delayed Periods After Emergency Contraception Mean Pregnancy?

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?

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.

I had unprotected sex 2 days after my periods ended. What should I do?

Female | 29

You may have gotte­n pregnant after unprotecte­d sex just after your period e­nded. Watch for no period, fee­ling sick, or sore breasts. Get morning-afte­r pills from a drugstore fast - no prescription nee­ded. They lower pre­gnancy chances.

I am facing yeast infection first time. Do I take one fluconazole tablet per day or a tablet in 3 days

Female | 20

Yeast infe­ctions are quite common. They occur when your body has too much ye­ast. This imbalance can result in itching, burning, and strange discharge­. If it's your first time experie­ncing a yeast infection, the typical tre­atment is one fluconazole pill take­n in a single day. Fluconazole kills the fungus re­sponsible for the infection. Howe­ver, you must follow the medication instructions pre­cisely.

My name is goldi and i am in relationship and and last time we get physical but we got Unwanted pregnancy and when she test and get light pink on test one line is darker and other line is light pink what should i do to not get Unwanted pregnancy

Female | 16

The light pink lines on the test can indicate a positive result, meaning pregnancy. To prevent this in the future, you can use contraception methods like condoms or birth control pills. These methods help stop pregnancy from happening.

Ive been having dried up blood spotting for 3 days and i only had cramps for the first day i know im not pregnant since im 15 and i never had sex theres also some brown spotting when i wipe after i pee (kinda like when period is done)

Female | 15

Dried up blood spotting, cramps, and brown spotting can have various causes, even if you're not sexually active. It's possible that this could be related to hormonal changes, irregular periods, or other factors. Irregular are common, especially during the early years of menstruation.

I am a 24 year old female. I was on depo for 2 years. Last shot expired in April. I had unprotected sex in August, less than a week after my period. Took a morning after pill next morning. One week later i had my period again which lasted 3 days with lots of cramping. Three days after i started feeling nauseated and having an upset stomach. Could i be pregnant

Female | 24

Based on what you've told me, the chances of you being pregnant are slim. The emergency contraceptive pill is effective if taken shortly after unprotected sex. Women can experience nausea and abdominal discomfort as side effects of the pill, which do not necessarily imply that they are pregnant.
