What could cause delayed periods after unprotected sex?

Question

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex a month back and after 4 to 5 hours, I used unwanted 72 and next day again I used unwanted 72. My menstruation has been missed. I tested my pregnancy through Prega news pregnancy testing kit and report was negative but my periods did not start. Then I used the unwanted kit (Mifepristone and Misoprostol) after taking this bleeding did not start again. I did the pregnancy test and the result was negative and my periods have not come till now. I am worried about my periods. Please tell me what is the problem I am having white vaginal discharge. Sometimes this is watery and sometimes it is slightly thick. Am I pregnant or not and why my periods are not starting?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have taken emergency contraceptives twice and then abortifacient as well. Emergency pills if taken once it shows withdrawal bleed within 1 to 2 weeks. If you have taken twice that further disturbed inside hormones then again you have taken abortion-inducing tablets and pregnancy test still negative but combined effects of hormones made things irregular. For your satisfaction do have serum beta hCG (blood pregnancy test) immediately that will remove your confusion regarding pregnancy. No need to take more hormones please as it will further complex things. Wait and watch. Let the body to respond already externally induced hormones gradually it should come to normal. In case of heavy bleeding or pain, dizziness or fainting better to report to the gynecologist tertiary care center.

It is least likely to have pregnancy but if something is missing here I advised you to have serum beta hCG (blood pregnancy test) immediately. It will clear situation. Urine pregnancy test and scan in very early pregnancy are unreliable.
