Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had intercourse (he did not ejaculate) and took an i-pill the next day. I am suffering from PCOD and by doctor's prescription, I took Meprate for seven days twice daily. But still no sign of periods. What can be the causes? Also, after taking the i-pill there is no withdrawal bleeding. My last period was before two months and it is causing stress and I am overthinking. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do not worry, you have nothing to worry about.

As you have PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) your ovulation will not be on time. As you mentioned that he did not ejaculate and you took i-pill within 24 hours, chances of pregnancy are very low. Meprate is a hormone pill that increases the inner lining of the uterus and when you suddenly stop, it cause withdrawal bleeding. Usually, you can wait up to 10 days after stopping. Because you had I-pill and Meprate your period would have got postponed. So I would advise you to wait for periods till 10 days after the last day of Meprate. If still no periods, just for confirmation get urine pregnancy tested. I bet it will be negative. Then take any of the oral contraceptive pills such as Novelone, or Ovrel G, or Dear 21 or Diane 35 or Intimacy plus 3 twice a day for 10 days, throw that extra last tab. You will surely get periods within the next 10 days. If you get periods in between just stop the pills. In PCOD the inner lining of the uterus may not be thick enough, so your periods will be light sometimes with pink discharge only, so no withdrawal bleeding with Meprate. These pills will increase the thickness. Next time onwards never have unprotected sex, to avoid these anxious moments.

I hope this helps.
