What Causes Delay In Periods Inspite Of Having Safe Sex?

Hi I took a morning after pill in August and I got my period that month as well as the following month in September. It is now October and I am 5 days late can this possibly be because of the morning after pill?..... I had sex about 3 weeks ago with a condom and he did cum inside but the condom didn t break and it was put on properly

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Morning after pill what you had taken earlier would have acted then itself in preventing pregnancy as you had got your periods regularly after that.
Now that you had used condom for protection and the periods are delayed is a matter of concern.
Delay in periods could be due to your apprehension, hormonal imbalance or pregnancy (in case condom protection would have failed).
You may wait for another 2 days and see if you get your periods. Otherwise, get an Urine Pregnancy Test done and seek help of Gynecologist at the earliest for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided is clear.
All the best.
