What Could Cause Menstrual Irregularity?

Hi, I took Plan B on April 20th. My period started that day and lasted a full 7 days. I had sex again on April 26th, but I m positive he wore a condom. However, I m not on birth control. It s May 24th and I haven t had my period yet. Can my cycle be thrown off because of Plan B? My cycle is typically irregular as it is, so I wasn t sure if this was normal and I m paranoid or if it was Plan B or if I need to take a test?

Hello,

The delay in periods can be due to Plan B as it causes a hormonal disturbance but pregnancy also needs to be ruled out. You can do a urine test to rule out pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Rakhi Tayal, OBGYN
