Is delayed period after an emergency pill normal?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex after which she took an I-pill. Now, her period is delayed. Is there any possibility of pregnancy? We are worried.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query.

I suggest you do a urine pregnancy test with morning urine and also get a blood beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test to rule out pregnancy. The period might get delayed due to I-pill consumption.

I hope it helps.

Please feel free to reach out in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

Are there any chances of pregnancy?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There are fewer chances of pregnancy as she took an I-pill, but the I-pill does not give a hundred percent protection.

I hope it helps.

Thanks and regards.
