Does Intake Of Birth Control Pills Cause Delayed Periods?
Me and my girlfriend I had sex two months ago. We were protected but my condom broke. I didnt let any sperm inside her and she was on the pill( she takes it regularly) she got her period indigating that she wasnt pregnant but this month its 3 days late. Could she be pregnant? I am scared..
Hello dear I understand your concern If birth control pill was taken regularly without missing pill then chance of pregnancy is only 0.5%. 3 day delayed period occasionally considered as normal. Wait for period to come. If period will delay by more then 7 days from normal expected period date then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy. In absence of pregnancy, delayed period could be due to stress, change in life style & dietary habit, ovarian dysfunction. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise. Hope this may help you
