What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Taking Contraceptive Pill After Sex?
I'm wondering what the chances are of me being pregnant. I started birth control a month and a half ago when I started my first period after having my daughter. I believe the pills threw my body off chemistry as only a week after my normal period I bled again for two weeks. Fast forward to starting a new pack, I missed the first day of the new pack of birth control pills and that night my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and ejaculated inside me. The following morning I immediately took the missed pill when I got them and continued to take the rest of the pills that night every day as I normally would. I haven't gotten a period since then and it's been about a week and a half. Could I be pregnant?
Hi , Rightly said your body chemistry is altered by these pills, but they go haphazard if you miss them now then. You might be pregnant, for which you have to test early morning urine sample or more confirmatory is get Serum Beta HCG tested. If you have forgotten pill in between or vomit after having pill or take it at different times hormones from your body may escape the suppression from the pills. If you test negative for pregnancy- wait for a week- 10 days for next periods. If you still don't get periods meet gynecologist for hormone pills for withdrawal bleeding. Then restart pills from next period. Best method is - take pills daily at same time , preferably at bedtime. Hope you are not on any other medications which affect these pills. If you are forgetful think of the option of Intrauterine contraceptive devices ( Copper T ) . Can stay on for 3 yrs, 5 yrs or 10 yrs as per your wish. All the best Dr.Balakrishnan
