Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m on painkillers for my back because I was in an accident a few months back, and I ve never been late for my period before. And I m late, I ve had sex twice last week. Both protected, and neither condom broke. Could the painkillers make me late for my period?
I have gone through your query, i will try to give you suggestion which will be helpful to you.
Pain killers are Less likely to affect the period. If you are stressed, period may get delayed. If you had a protected sex you are v less likely to be pregnant. But if your period is delayed by a week, it is better to do urine pregnancy test and better if you do it with morning sample, as it is likely to be more sensitive.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. I will be glad to help you in case if you have any further queries.
Wish you speedy recovery. Take care.
