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.
Hi, i had sex for the first time last saturday and i think something went wrong with the condom so i took the poatday pill. Today, 5 days later I still feel dizzy and nauseous. Is that normal? And i m supposed to have my period tomorrow, there s a possibility that it will come later without being pregnant? thanks
Hello dear I understand your concern Plan B is 95 % effective in preventing the pregnancy. So it has 1-5 % failure rate. Dizziness and nausea could be a side effect of the plan B pill and premenstrual symptoms. Period can be delayed by 8-10 days as plan B contain high progesterone and it cause prolongation of second phase of the cycle. So if your period will be delayed by more than 12 days then go for pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy. If you will be pregnant then still you can terminate the pregnancy by abortion pill under the advice of gynecologist. Avoid stress, do regular exercise, take healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Hope this may help you
