What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Taking Duphaston And Postinor?

I took postinor 1500 about 7 hours after unprotected coitus. It is important to mention that because I have polycystic ovaries, i have been using Duphaston for the past 3 months, in order to have a stable menstrual cycle. So, today, 1 week after i took postinor, i was supposed to have my period, but it hasn t come. what s wrong?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Delayed period after intake of emergency pill such as postinor 1500mcg is a common problem. It is known side effect due to high dose of hormone levogesterol contained in the pill. So your periods could be delayed for one or two cycles. Pregnancy chance is very less after intake of emergency pill.
Use condoms or regular contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy in future. Intake of emergency contraceptive pills is not advised in you as you are suffering from polycystic ovaries. You should use combined hormone contraceptive pill by consulting your gynaecologist, it would make your periods regular & would also prevent pregnancy.
Frequent use of emergency pill like postinor in you can cause serious problems like irregular periods, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & even infertility.

Refer to your gynaecologist

Hope this information helps
