What Causes Delay In Periods After Taking I-pill?
Question: I had unprotected sex on 9th and 10th day of my cycle. Then on 11th day dat is within 48hrs i had i pill. Now my date was due on 12th dec bt its olready 5 days up yet no periods. Moreover i had preg test at home 2 times bt i got 1 dark line and other light faint kind of line in the test. M i pregnant? What shud i do now? I m worried.
Brief Answer:
bHCG test and ultrasound
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I understand your anxiety bit this faint line is indication of an early pregnancy.
Get a bHCG test done and in case positive then get an ultrasound and visit a gynecologist for examination.
In asking for all this because it can be an early intrauterine pregnancy or a tubal ectopic pregnancy (latter is a emergency situation).
All the best.

Brief Answer:
repeat test after 2 days
Detailed Answer:
If you want to confirm the diagnosis and avoid visiting a doctor then wait for a couple of days and repeat pregnancy test.
In case strongly positive then decide how you want to proceed with the pregnancy.
But in case still faintly positive then bHCG and ultrasound is must to rule out tubal ectopic pregnancy.
Waiting for your response.
Take care.

Yes i will go 4 the test again. And i can nt proceed 4 any kind of pregnancy as i m unmarried yet. All i cn do is get a blood test also done And if positv or faintly positive, can mifepristone remove both the cases. Is it helpful in removing both kind of pregnancies.can pregnancy happen even after i pill .
Brief Answer:
repeat test
Detailed Answer:
Ipill has a failure rate of about 10-15%.
Mifepristone can deal with intrauterine pregnancy but not ectopic pregnancy.
Just don't get anxious as yet and do the test again after 2 days and in case faint positive then bHCG test is must.
Get that done and then we can discuss the future management.
All the best.
