Suggest Tests To Diagnose Delay In Periods Caused After Having Unsafe Sex

My wife took contraceptive emergency pills on 26 feb and 18th march .then she was reciving her period right after 10 days so her last period was on 28 th march and after 2 days on 30 th march when she was on the last day of her period we had unprotected sex again but this time she didnt took pill, considering low risk of getting pregnent on last day of period and additionaly i saw blood too during intercourse . But now todays is her 28 th day from last period and she is not getting her periods. Is she pregnant now?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Your wife may be pregnant as she had unprotected intercourse on last day of her periods. So getting pregnant could be the reason of her delayed periods or her not getting her periods.
The second reason of delayed periods in her is due to side effect of emergency contraceptive pill intake. The delayed periods are due to effect of high dose of levonorgestrel hormone in emergency pill which disrupts normal menstruation & causes delayed periods.
Therefore she should do a pregnancy test to know whether she is pregnant or not. Pregnancy test can be done at home by using a home pregnancy kit & is very reliable.

Refer to your gynaecologist for more queries
Hope this information helps
