Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had sex with my fiance one and a half months back and within an hour, I took I-pill. Eight days later, I had some spotting and after that, I usually had my periods a week later. But, this time it did not happen and I am totally freaked out and I did try sugar pregnancy test at home but it did not show any sign of pregnancy. What should I do now and my periods are delayed by I-pill or some other reasons. What should I do? Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your periods can be delayed due to I-pill. Periods can also be delayed due to hormonal problems. Do serum beta hCG blood test to rule out pregnancy confirmatively. Let me know your blood report so that I can guide you. Do serum TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and serum prolactin blood test on empty stomach tomorrow morning to see if you have any hormonal imbalance. Let me know the report once you get it.

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