Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Me and my fiance had sex and seems out of fear took Ipill because it was unprotected for sometime so many doubts in mind but no leakage or injection of sperm, etc. Three time UPT done but all negative. After taking Ipill period comes as per regular cycle for 4 days but next period only one two hours bleeding and then stopped. This month period is skipped till date say it late by 25 day including today. Do I need to visit doctor or wait?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If you had taken Ipill within 72 hours of unprotected sex, it works well as emergency contraception (about 90 %). Since you had a regular periods after taking Ipill, pregnancy is unlikely. Ipill is hormonal pill containing synthetic Levonorgestrel which can can sometimes disrupt normal menstrual cycle. It is possible that your regular menstrual cycle has been affected by taking Ipill but the side effects are transient and usually menstrual fluctuations disappears by the following cycle.
Since you are reporting persistent delay in having your periods, it is advisable to consult an OG doctor to have a check up and help to re-establish normal periods again. It will be reassuring to you as well. Do not worry there will be no long term side effects due to Ipill but it should not be taken often.
