Feeling Bloated And Delay In Periods

Hi, i have a few concerns. I took next choice last saturday after having unprotected sex that day. It was only for a few minutes and the guy didn't ejaculate inside me but I was afraid his precum might potentially get me pregnant so i took extra precaution. Now after a week im feeling very bloated and i haven't gotten my period. I'm afraid. Please help?

Hello,
If you are due for your period now, you did not need the emergency pill in the first place as you were in the safe period, assuming that you have 28-30 day cycles. Emergency contraceptive pills contain excess hormone that creates disturbance in the hormonal milieu of the body. This is the reason why pills delay a normal period by a week or two and can also cause some withdrawal bleeding a couple of days after intake. Bloating is also their side effect. Please wait for a week or ten days after your due period before seeking medical help. Hope this helps.
