Post this i had smelly bleeding/ spotting with bloody discharge. Its the 25th of September today and i still have nt got my periods. Is this delay normal due to the 2 ipills i consumed.
Brief Answer:
Post emergency pill delay.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Emergency pill contains excess hormone and this disrupts the normal hormonal balance of the body. The spotting you had after consuming the pills is a breakthrough bleed. As you had two pills in the same cycle, you can expect a delayed period for a couple of cycles. This can happen even with a single pill.
Chances of pregnancy seem to be less if you did not have any intercourse after the dates of consuming the pill since those dates fall in the safe period if you have a 30-day cycle.
You should anyway see a specialist as your cycle is very much delayed. You may need to be given withdrawal medication once pregnancy is excluded to set your cycle back on track. Please remember, use of emergency pill should be restricted to only once or twice a year as it can lead to severe menstrual disturbances leading to infertility problems later on.
Hope your query is answered. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.
