Hi mam,
I had sex the very next day after my periods ended. I took I-pills and my periods are late. They were supposed to come before nine days. I took up yesterday and today, but both the tests are negative. Should I do a UPT again after a week? When will my periods come naturally? Are there any chances to miss periods? Is the UPT showing wrong results? Do I need to test my blood for hCG? How long should I wait before going to a doctor?
Can you please answer my questions?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. These are the answers to your queries:
1) No, you do not need a UPT (urine pregnancy test) again. Your period is delayed because of the I-pill (Levonorgestrel) you took for contraception (it is a side effect).
2) Usually, periods get delay by up to 15 days in women taking I-pill. So if your periods have to occur, they will occur within 15 days of your period date.
3) Chances of a missed period in women after I-pill is very high. So do not worry.
4) The chances of two UPTs showing the wrong result is almost not possible.
5) You do not require a blood hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) level.
6) You do not need a gynecologist consultation immediately.
Just relax if your period does not come in a short time. Then, consult and start with tablet Progesterone to cause your periods.
Regards.
