Hello doctor,
I am a 25-year-old female. I had sex during the second day of the period and took tablet I-pill the next day. My period is delayed by two weeks this month. I have taken two pregnancy tests at home and found them to be negative. Can you advise on what should I do next?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As you took tablet I-pill on the third day of your cycle, ideally there should have been a withdrawal bleeding in the next five to seven days in form of spotting. However, now even after two weeks of missed periods, if your pregnancy test is negative, then you are not pregnant. The delay is likely to be due to the known side effect of tablet I-pill, which is delaying or making next one to two cycles irregular. The next step remains to get an ultrasound of pelvis done to check for endometrial thickness and if it is more than 7 mm, then I inducing withdrawal bleeding again with Progesterones or can just wait for another week to allow your menstrual cycle to return naturally. I will advise you to practice barrier contraception if sexually active.
Regards.
