What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking Birth Control Pills?
I recently became sexually active .The first time I had sex I bleed lightly two days after and I think it was my period. The second time I had sex I took some birth control pills and two days after I bleed lightly again. About 4 weeks later my period is late. Should I be worried?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The chance of having a pregnancy while using a contraceptive method is very rare, but there is a possibility of pregnancy. You need to do the following: 1- Urine or blood pregnancy test. 2- Clinical and lab assessment in the nearest medical center.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Take care.
