Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had sex with my partner. We used the condom but at the end, we found it broken but according to him nothing slipped inside but for safety I took i-pill within two hours. After this, I got bleeding within six days of i-pill intake and it lasted for five days and was the same as regular periods. So based on this I was expecting my second period on 16 th of this month but till date I have not got my second periods. During this period several times I did a home pregnancy test and all found negative. Till today I did not get my period. What is happening inside me? What is the expected date that I can get my periods? Is this a sign of pregnancy? Should I do the test again? Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

After having sex, five days later you got your periods. This indicates that 100% you are not pregnant. Now the delay in your next periods is due to the effect of i-pill. But there is no need to worry. No need to do any further pregnancy test as there is no chance of pregnancy. Just wait for one or two weeks and you will have your normal periods.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Is there any thing I should follow to get my periods back to regular? My actual period date was different. When should I expect it?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

See, because of the i-pill there has occurred some hormonal imbalance in your body. This can take one to two months to normalize. There is nothing from your side that needs to be done. But if periods do not happen in the next one or two weeks then I would recommend you to get TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and ultrasound pelvis scan done and revert back with reports.

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