What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking I-pill?
Question: I had sex with my gf in XXXXXXX she was on 1st of periods I used a condom but somewhere I felt unsure so I gave her an ipill and she stopped bleeding then the next day her bleeding started over again..and now it's an 1 week delay in her perioids so she is worried
Brief Answer:
Probable side effect of i pill
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or due to the side effect of I pill which delays the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks. Moreover, there is almost zero probability of pregnancy if intercourse was done on the first day of periods, and you used condom too.
I suggest her to get a urine pregnancy test done, if negative then she can safely wait for her periods for next two weeks.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr Deepti Verma
