Upper Abdominal Gas And Nausea After Protected Sex Is A Cause For Concern?

my periods have been irregular, I'm usually 29 days but last month I it came 22 days. I had sex on January 11 for the first time in over 3 years. We used a condom but as a precaution (gential rubbing before condom and precum) I took a Next Choice 8 hours after. Now I'm on day 33 and still waiting for my period. I have upper abdominal gas and a bit of nauseam. I'm feeling worried and concerned. Please help me.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I understand your concern.
Use of condom plus taking emergency contraceptive in 8 hours of contact, exclude possibility of conception.
Nausea & bloating of abdomen are side effects of the emergency contraceptive you took.
Similarly high dosage of hormones in Next choice make periods also postponed & irregular.You will get period maximally by 37 days.( maximum 8 days delay than longest cycle you have)
worry & concern also delays periods. If you are too much concerned, you
can get Pregnancy Blood HCG test to calm yourself/exclude pregnancy.
Thanks.
