Had Protected Sex And Used A Condom. Took Ipill And Did Not Have Periods. Is It A Side Effect?

NO CHANCE OF PREGNANCY. WAIT ONE WEEK.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
First of all, there is no chance of pregnancy as she had already undergone tubal ligation (birth control operation) and you gave her I-pill within 1 hr of protected sex. So, you wouldn't be worried about that.
I-pill is the culprit for delaying her period. Most women's period delays for 1-2 weeks after taking the pill due to hormonal imbalance and associated mental stress. It is quite common phenomena.
In this scenario, she has two options. These are:
1) She can wait another one week to get your period naturally. Here, she must take balanced diet, drink more fluid or water, avoid mental stress, keep bowel habit regular and take sound sleep. This will help to hasten her period.
2) She can take progesterone pill (like norethisterone) to induce period as her due date is already one week past. Kindly, consult with her local doctor for a proper prescription.
Hope, I have answered your query. If you need any clarification, you can freely ask me.
Wish your good health and all the best.
Regards,
Dr Soumen

NORETHISTERONE IS A PRESCRIPTION DRUG.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up query.
Hormonal medication like norethisterone etc is prescription only medicine and she needs to consult with local doctor for getting prescription.
I prefer to induce period of my patients through above medicine and it is given as 3 times daily for 5 days. Most of them get their period within 5-7 days.
Kindly, visit to her local doctor regarding this and it will be benefited for her.
Hope, it helps for you. If you don't have any other query, you can close the discussion.
All the best. Good luck.

Dr Soumen
