Does I-pill Cause Irregular Menstruation?

Hi. I took an ipill on the 6th day of periods last month, i.e. on 16th aug. I had slight bleeding for three days from 21-23 aug. But till date i still havent got my periods. My normal cycle is between 28-30 days. Is it a side effect of ipill or is pregnancy possible? I am experiencing mood swings and back pain also. Please help.

Hi,
I understand your concern,.
I pill is a preparation with high dose of hormones.It works by postponing ovulation day. In your case, you took it on day 6th-which can not be ovulation day in 28-30days cycle. so High hormones caused simple withdrawal bleeding between 21-23 august.
This has interfered with your normal menstrual cycle. which has delayed your menstrual cycle.
There are following possibilities when we think of mood swings/ back ache -
- it may be due to psychological stress /fear of pregnancy.
- It may be premenstrual symptoms of your altered menstrual cycle,
- The ovulation day being changed this time, you remained careless & might have conceived giving symptoms of early pregnancy.
Blood HCG would be the deciding test.
Thanks.
Now to come out of confusion Blood HCG test will help.
