Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I missed my dates this month. I have had unprotected sex the last two times. Though I took an I-pill. I also took the pregnancy test and it was negative. I am not sure what is happening, so what should I do now? Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Kindly answer the following questions:

  1. May I know on which dates you took the emergency contraceptive pill?

  2. When do you expect the periods this month?

  3. What was your last date of the period?

  4. When did you have unprotected intercourse?

Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

I took it on the first of last month and recently I took it last week. And this month, my period should come in the last week. The last date of my period was last week.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You have taken emergency contraceptive pills twice so your periods have been disturbed. Maybe you have to wait for your periods till the first week of next month as per your history, but there could be a chance of pregnancy if you had intercourse close to ovulation. There can be no pregnancy but you shall wait till the end of this month to check for pregnancy through a blood test.

Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Thank you.

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