Can I pill delay periods?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.

I do understand your concern.

The use of emergency contraception, such as an emergency contraceptive pill (commonly known as the morning-after pill or I-pill), can affect your menstrual cycle and cause changes in bleeding patterns. Taking an emergency contraceptive pill, like you did on the same day of unprotected sex, can disrupt your hormonal balance and potentially lead to changes in your menstrual cycle. The bleeding you experienced in September and the following days could be a result of the hormonal changes caused by the emergency contraceptive pill. It is important to note that emergency contraception is not 100 % effective, although it can significantly reduce the risk of pregnancy. If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, especially if you had unprotected sex prior to or after taking the emergency contraceptive pill. It is advisable to take a pregnancy test to confirm your pregnancy status. The irregular bleeding and changes in discharge that you are experiencing could be due to hormonal fluctuations caused by emergency contraception. It may take some time for your menstrual cycle to normalize after taking the emergency contraceptive pill. If your period has not arrived as expected and you are unsure about your pregnancy status, please take a urine pregnancy home test and share the result.

If the urine pregnancy test comes back negative, then you are not pregnant. If you are still concerned about the possibility of pregnancy and your period is still delayed, taking another pregnancy test can be a good idea to help provide clarity. Pregnancy tests are designed to detect the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your body, which is produced during pregnancy. It is generally recommended to wait at least a week after a missed period to take a pregnancy test for the most accurate results. However, since your period was supposed to come in September and you have not had a period since then, it has been a significant amount of time. Taking a pregnancy test now should provide a reliable result. You can find over-the-counter pregnancy test kits at most pharmacies or drugstores. Follow the instructions carefully on the packaging for the most accurate results. It is usually best to use the first urine sample of the day for the highest concentration of hCG. If the pregnancy test result is negative and you are still concerned or experiencing irregularities in your menstrual cycle, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare professional. They can evaluate your situation, perform any necessary tests, and provide further guidance based on your specific circumstances.
