Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had my period a month back. And I had unprotected sex ten days back. I have a 26 days cycle. I took I-pill on the same day after five hours. My due date was six days back but still, I am not getting periods and brown spots are visible. Am I pregnant?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Kindly get blood hCG done. If it is negative, you need not worry. Most probably this delay and spotting are due to emergency contraceptive pills you have taken.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
There is a brown patch on undergarment but no period sign. Please do tell me till when I have to wait for the period to start and what is the best time to do blood hCG? I meant I am three days due to my normal period start date.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Get blood hCG done immediately. I cannot comment on spotting as how long it will continue. It can last for 20 days or longer. It is very important that you do not have sexual contact till this spotting is over and moreover, please do not take any further hormones to stop this bleeding or hormones as a contraceptive. This bleeding will stop on its own. If blood hCG is normal, need not worry about pregnancy.
