Q. What is the reason for my partner's delayed period?
Hello doctor,
My partner has a menstrual cycle of 26 to 28 days. She had her periods on the 5th, two months ago. After that, she had an I-pill on the 14th. Then she again had her periods on the 28th. Accordingly, she had her periods due on the 24th of last month. But, till now she is still waiting for the periods. During the intercourse, I did not ejaculate inside. We also did the pregnancy test on the 25th evening with the pregnancy kit, but the result was negative. Could you please tell me what could be the reason for the delayed period?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I-pill (emergency contraceptive pill) is one of the causes of irregular and delayed periods. Ask her to wait for her periods for a week. If she does not get her periods then repeat a test. I would advise both of you to take proper contraception in the future. It is better to take oral contraceptive pills. They are safer.
Thank you.
Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
But she already had a period on the 28th, 14 days after having I-pill.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
1. Sometimes, for the first three months of pregnancy,some females might experience bleeding which can be mistaken for periods. Though that is rare, we will have to keep that in mind. Also, I am not sure whether you had intercourse after the 28th or not.
2. The chances of pregnancy are very remote but still do a test on the 2nd and if that is negative, then you need not worry.
Thank you.
Hello doctor,
We did have intercourse around the 8th of last month, but I did not ejaculate inside (that I am pretty sure). Can you also tell me does the usage of a single I-pill affect the future planning?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Sometimes, the pre-ejaculatory secretion contains sperm. No, I-pill does not affect the future planning, but in case of failure, thechances of tubal pregnancy increases. That is why I said take proper precautions. Either use a condom or if you are not compliant with that, then use combined oral pills.
Thank you.
