What Causes Delayed Period Despite Having I Pill Post Unprotected Sex?

I had unprotected sex with my partner but he pulled out. A day or two later I take the day after pill just to be sure. I should be starting my period some time this week. Due to the fact that I took the after day pill my period will be delayed for a few days. I noticed white looking things in my urine but I don t know if that s due to the after day pill or if that means I am pregannt

Dear patient,

in most cases the day after pill is very effective and you took it in the right time range after sex. However, no pill is a 100%. So if your period is delayed further you should do a common pregnancy test just to make sure. The "white looking things" are not a typical or reliable sign for pregnancy and can be unspecific (like higher urine concentration in the morning) or be a sign of a bladder infection (if anything starts burning while urinating, see your md in town). Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
