Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My partner and I had sex two months back. She got her period that month, but she missed her period for this month. She took an I-pill after we had sex. Could this be her pregnancy? Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

She should get SB hCG (serial beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) to rule out pregnancy even if she had intercourse once or twice this month (maybe in the fertile period). If SB hCG is negative, hormonal imbalance due to I-pill could have occurred. So, get a gynecological ultrasound to look for endometrial thickness and rule out any ovarian cysts or abnormalities. I suggest you get a thyroid profile, serum prolactin, fasting blood sugar, and fasting insulin levels.

Kindly revert with the reports.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
