Could Missing Periods Be Due To Pregnancy?
I normally have irregular period. Had unprotected sex a month and some weeks ago and I took the postenor 2 tablets at once 15hours later and since then I haven't seen my period even didn't see it the month before I had the unprotected sex. Could this be that I am pregnant?

Hello,
In the current scenario, you need to get investigated to know the cause of the delayed period since you had missed your period prior to taking emergency contraception. In fact, emergency contraceptives contain excess hormone and thus cause withdrawal bleed or delayed periods due to disrupted hormonal balance of the body. I would suggest a complete evaluation by a specialist and a trans-vaginal sonogram to clarify the issue. Hope this helps.
