What Causes Delayed Menstruation Post Intake Of Contraceptive Pills?
Brief Answer:
Urine pregnancy test is to be done
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.
Iam Dr.Srilatha gynaecologist.I have gone through your query.
In my opinion the delay in period might be due to ipill.
Ipill causes hormonal imbalance leading to effect on timing and bleeding of the period.
That is the period can come early or late and the bleeding can be scanty,heavy or irregular.
Ipill is 95% effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.But as you have taken within stipulated time then the chances of pregnancy are rare.
Also there was no condom slippage or breakage on 5 th January it also makes the chances of pregnancy rare.
But just to clear the doubt I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
If the test is negative you can wait upto a week for spontaneous onset of periods.
If no periods even after a week you might need to consult doctor for further management.
Most important is avoid stress and relax.Because stress induces hormonal imbalance and delay the periods further.
So relax and wait and check for the period.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss further.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha

Brief Answer:
wiat for spontaneous onset of periods
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,good day.
I got your query.I understand your concern.
In my opinion the delay in period can be due to hormonal imbalance created by the ipill.
So I suggest you to wait for spontaneous onset of periods for a week to 10 days.
If still no periods after 10 days consult doctor for further course of action.
As the urine pregnancy test is negative pregnancy is ruled out.
Ipill is a high dose progesterone.Usually menstruation occurs when all the hormone levels fall in the body.
So as the ipill has high dose it will take time to come down.
So in this case regulin tablets might not be advisable.
Waiting for spontaneous onset of periods might be a good option.
Regulin tablets are prescribed in case of spontaneous delay of periods with negative pregnancy test.
Hope this satisfies your query.
