Is Persistent Nausea Indicative Of Pregnancy?

Please test for pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Conception can occur with an unprotected intercourse during the fertile period. Nausea can occur due to several causes other than pregnancy. Gastric disturbances, infections, stress and cerebral causes etc., are some other situations where nausea is observed.
If she has a missed period, a home pregnancy test can be done 3-7 days after the missed period using a fresh early morning sample.
If she is due for her period in a couple of days, the blood test for pregnancy can be done.
A sonogram of the pelvis preferably in the trans-vaginal route done a week after the missed period gives the clarification.
If you do not wish to continue with the pregnancy, you can go for an induced medical abortion after consulting a specialist.
Hope your query has been answered. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.

In the current scenario, nausea is most likely the pill effect.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing again.
Yes. Nausea can have several causes as mentioned earlier. However, in the current scenario, since she has consumed the emergency pill which contains high hormone content, nausea is most likely to be due to the pill effect.
Her next natural period may get delayed by a week or two. Hence, if she becomes overdue by ten days, please see a specialist for further help.
Hope your query has been clarified.
Wish you good health.

The side effects remain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern.
The contraceptive effect of the pill can last for 5 days as shown by half-life studies. Yet, the side effects remain for the whole cycle as the hormone milieu of the body is disrupted through the pill use. This is why it is advised that the emergency pill use should be restricted to once or twice per year.
Hope this helps.
