Hii Dr just wanted to know if a girl has taken pills to late her periods and during that time she had unprotected sex but took i-pill immediately but her periods went late so are there any chances of pregnancy? When should she use prega news fr a test?
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. When hormones are taken to postpone the menstrual cycle, the ovulation can get disturbed and may not happen at all depending on the timing of the pill intake. In addition, the intake of the emergency pill creates disruption of the hormone milieu. This in itself delays the next natural period by a week or two. If she becomes overdue, she needs to see a specialist for further management. A pregnancy test, preferably the blood test, is then done along with a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram and treatment planned accordingly. Hope this helps.
