What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking Emergency Contraceptive Pills?

Hi doctor I need help I took ecp pills after unprotected sex. I took the pills on 15th july. I got my last period on 3rd july. I had bleeding soon after i took the pills for 3 days. Today is 10th august. I still haven t got my period. I took pregnancy tests every week since i took the pills and all are negative. I have been getting a lot of thick discharge lately and cramps but no period. What does it mean? Should I be concerned? Can i took primolut N to get my period?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Emergency contraceptive pills do contain hormones that would alter the hormonal balance in your body. This explains why your periods are delaying.

Give time until they come. Thick discharge you are getting lately is suggesting periods are coming in a few more days.

Take ibuprofen or diclophenac to speed up bleeding.
All the best.
