Suggest Remedy For Delayed Periods
Question: My period was suppose to come on 3rd november but it got delayed.we had sex on 10th november.my husband ejaculated on my vagina.I took an I pill after 30 hrs.but till today my period has not come.what could be the reason.
Brief Answer:
Can wait for another 72 hrs for resumption
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I understand your concern.
Sometimes a delay of 7-10days can happen in presence of emergency contraceptive pills.
This delay is due to the hormonal rescheduling of the menstrual blood flow pattern.
So a wait for another 3 days is advisable.
After which you need to repeat a urine preg test along with ultrasound abdomen to rule out pregnancy.
Thank you.

But before having sex,my period was already delayed by 1 week.and after that I took I pill within 30 hrs.so what are the chances of pregnancy?
Brief Answer:
Need only tests to rule out pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.
Yes I understand your concern, but the risk of pregnancy in your case cannot be quantified when the periods are delayed prior to as well as after taking the pill.
You need to go through a urine pregnancy test and an ultrasound abdomen to rule out pregnancy with 100% accuracy. There is no alternative to this.
First you need to get urine pregnancy test done and then let me know the result.
