Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have not got my period for some time and I took a pregnancy test and it came positive. So I had an abortion pill for three days which started my periods for five days. Then this month again my periods are delayed. I took a test again a few days back it came with the light positive line but today it was negative. Is it normal or tell me any medicine for the same?

Regards.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Have you had any sexual intercourse after taking the pill? In which month you had an abortion pill? Light positive means it could be due to mild HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) level because of earlier positive pregnancy. The latest test revealed a negative result means most probably no pregnancy but do the test again to recheck it. Taking the abortion pill sometimes causes a temporary delay in the menstrual cycle but it would become normal. If you had no sexual intercourse after the abortion pill then nothing to worry about.

Thank you.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

No, I did not have intercourse after the pill and yesterday I had the test again and it came negative.

Hi,

Welcome to back icliniq.com.

Your test is negative again, so do not worry about it.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
