Patient's Query

Hello,

I usually get my periods on the sixth of every month. I did not get my periods on the sixth this month, but we had sex on the seventh. Also, I took some birth control pills three months back but then I got periods that month. After that, I did not get periods in the next month, and then again, I got. Is there any chance that I can get pregnant? Please help.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

If you had unprotected sex and wish to discontinue the pregnancy, you can take I-pill for the same.

You can take one tablet of I-pill 1.5 mg as early as possible (maximum within 72 hours).

Only one tablet is required in your case. Menstrual irregularities are the side effects of the contraceptive pill.

Feel free to ask for more information.

Thank you.

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