Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have 27 days cycle. Last month 23rd was the first day of my periods. I had unprotected sex. There was no ejaculation, but it just touched my vagina. For safety measure, I took I-pill in two hours, so my periods continued for almost eight days. Today is my date of periods, but still, I did not get. I am a little nervous because I got my PMS also. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your concern. It is a common side effect of I-pill to have prolonged menstruation and a delayed time for the next cycle. The emergency pill contains a high amount of hormone progesterone which prevents ovulation and at the same time hinders the usual period. If you want a regular cycle and not worry about getting pregnant, it is either you get birth control pills or have a copper intrauterine device (IUD) inserted. For now, you have to wait for your period. By the way, you will not get pregnant if it just touched the vagina.
