Hi mam,
Actually we started having Protective sex on 2nd October from 6 pm till 5th October 2 am (early morning) having intervals in between.
I pill taken on 5th October at 2 pm (that is 68 hours from first sex we had on 2nd oct 6 PM).we also check condoms were broken or not,but condoms were perfectly fine.
my period was due on 6th October ,but today is 7th October,still i have not got periods,does i pill delays period if taken just one day before start of cycle ???
please help urgently.
and also we did not have any unprotected sex during that period and i did not had sex before 2nd October
last month I had period on 8th sep (1st day of cycle)which was regular and this period was due on 6th oct .my cycle is usually about 28 days.
Please help very urgently. I am so much worried

Brief Answer:
RELAX, I PILL CAN POSTPONE PERIODS
Detailed Answer:
Do not worry please.
I pill does affect the expected period.
It can prepone or postpone it by even upto a week.
So relax.
You will definitely have a period within the next week sometime.
Risks of pregnancy are very very low because you used condoms, took the I pill plus having sex just before your period is due is less likely to result in a pregnancy as ovulation is not possible at this time.
So stop worrying.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
WAIT FOR ONE WEEK MORE

Thank you for the appreciation.
Please wait for one more week, am sure you would menstruate by then.
Try and not stress out, stress will further delay your cycles.
