What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Emergency Contraceptive Pills?
hi i took emergency contraceptive pill after and got my period the regular time that month, however this month my period is five days late now. i never had unprotected sex and checked all the condoms, is it possible that this is just a side effect of the pill
Hello dear I understand your concern Most probably your period is delayed by the hormonal imbalance caused by the emergency contraceptive pill. Other cause could be stress, change in lifestyle, and dietary habit, thyrpid dysfunction Wait for period to come for next 4-6 days. If it will not come then consult the gynaecologist and undergo examination , reproductive and thyroid hormone analysis, USG scan to confirm the cause. Period can be induced by the progesterone pill. Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise. Best regards Dr. Sagar
