Hi Darsh, You took i pill within 12 hour,so high protection rate, pregnancy chance very less.
Your missed period is most likely due to the i-Pill itself, not pregnancy. Also you took pregnancy test,this gives reassurance that you are not pregnant.
Your period should come within the next 1–2 weeks.
If no periods till end of September,consult a gynecologist to rule out other causes.
Don’t stress. You’ve got this. Thank you
Hello It’s good that you took an emergency contraceptive pill like i-pill as soon as possible after unprotected sex. Taking it within 12 hours significantly increases its effectiveness. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:
Effectiveness High Effectiveness: Emergency contraceptive pills (like i-pill, which contains levonorgestrel) are most effective when taken as soon as possible. When taken within the first 24 hours, their effectiveness can be as high as 95% or more. The effectiveness decreases the longer you wait, dropping to around 85% if taken between 25 and 48 hours, and even lower after that.
Not 100%: It’s important to understand that no birth control method, including emergency contraception, is 100% effective. While the chances of pregnancy are low when the pill is taken correctly and promptly, there is still a small risk. Some sources suggest a failure rate of about 1-2 out of every 100 women who use it.

While the chances of pregnancy are low when the pill is taken correctly and promptly, there is still a small risk. Some sources suggest a failure rate of about 1-2 out of every 100 women who use it.
How it Works: The pill works by preventing or delaying ovulation (the release of an egg). It may also prevent fertilization or a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. It’s crucial to know that it cannot terminate an existing pregnancy.
What to Expect After Taking the Pill Side Effects: The high dose of hormones in the pill can cause temporary side effects. Common ones include:
Nausea or vomiting
Headache
Dizziness and fatigue
Breast tenderness
Lower abdominal pain or cramps
Changes to your menstrual bleeding (heavier, lighter, or spotting between periods)
Menstrual Cycle Changes: The most common effect on your body will be changes to your next period. It might come a few days earlier or a few days later than expected. The flow might also be different—either lighter or heavier. These changes are usually temporary, and your cycle should return to normal in the following month or two.
If You Vomit: If you vomit within two hours of taking the pill, it’s possible that your body didn’t fully absorb the medication. In this case, you should consult a healthcare provider to see if you need to take another dose.
What to Do Next Wait for Your Period: The best way to know if the pill was effective is to wait for your next period. Most women get their period within a week of their expected date.
Take a Pregnancy Test: If your period is more than a week late or if you start to experience any symptoms of pregnancy, it is highly recommended that you take a pregnancy test for confirmation.
Consider Regular Contraception: Emergency contraception is not a substitute for regular birth control. For ongoing protection, you should talk to a healthcare professional about a regular method that is right for you, such as birth control pills, an IUD, or condoms.
1.You took the i-pill within 12 hours, and that makes it very effective in preventing pregnancy, so the chances of pregnancy are extremely low.
2.The two negative urine pregnancy tests after your missed date further confirm that you are not pregnant.
3.Emergency contraceptive pills like i-pill contain high dose hormones, which can disturb your normal cycle. Because of this, periods may come a little early or get delayed by a few days to even 2 weeks.
4.Stress, anxiety about pregnancy, or natural cycle variations at your age can also cause the delay in periods.
5.If your period does not come within 1–2 weeks, repeat the pregnancy test once more for reassurance, and if still worried, consult a gynecologist for guidance.
In your case, delay is most likely because of the pill and stress, not pregnancy
Hello,
I understand that this might be worrisome.
You have taken iPill within 12 hrs of unprotected intercourse. So you probably won’t get pregnant. There are high chances that your cycle will get disturbed as you have taken iPill. Best rest assured and you can wait for your periods. No need to worry much. My advice is to repeat the urine pregnancy test after 7 days if your periods won’t come.
Feel free to reach out.

You are most likely not pregnant. Delay is due to the i-pill’s hormonal effect + stress. Period should come naturally in the next 1–2 weeks.
Aapne i-pill 12 ghante ke andar le liya tha, aur itni early lene se pregnancy se protection 95% se zyada hota hai. Do baar negative urine pregnancy test aaya hai, toh chances of pregnancy bahut hi kam hain. Emergency pill me high dose progesterone hota h Ye hormone aapke ovulation aur uterine lining ko disturb karta hai, jisse period delay ya irregular ho sakte hain. Commonly period 5–15 din late aa sakta hai, kabhi kabhi thoda jyada bhi. Ye ek normal side-effect hai. Abhi stress lene ki zaroorat nahi hai. Agar: Period 2 hafte se zyada late ho jaye, Bleeding bahut heavy ya abnormal ho, Ya lower abdomen me severe pain ho, toh gynaecologist ko consult karna zaroori hoga. Otherwise aap safe ho.
As you know the ipill causes the disturbance of hormones causing delayed period so you can wait for 7-14 days from your period date
Hey There no need to worry as the upt is negative it is some time normal that periods being delayed by 7 to8 days so no need to panick and he cautious while you use i pills as they can be harmful so dont use them frequently or without prescreption regards
Since you took the emergency contraceptive pill within 12 hours and your pregnancy tests are negative, it is very unlikely that you are pregnant. Period delay after taking an emergency pill is common, as it can temporarily disrupt your hormonal cycle. Please consult a gynecologist if your period is delayed by more than a week or if you experience unusual symptoms, to ensure everything is normal.
Hello darsh Can you please tell me the name of the pill which you took ?
Repeat these tests for confirmation: 1. UPT 2. Ultrasound- transvaginal
Review with reports. Take care
Taking the emergency contraceptive pill within 12 hours is quite effective in reducing the risk of pregnancy, though no method is 100% foolproof. The timing of your period can indeed be affected by the ipill. Such pills, containing levonorgestrel, can cause a delay or even an early period in some women. Stress and hormonal fluctuations also play a part in delaying menstrual cycles. If your pregnancy tests are negative, it’s less likely that you’re pregnant, especially if they were done after your missed period’s due date. However, it’s still important to repeat the test after a few days if your period doesn’t start because variations in hCG levels can affect the result. Meanwhile, there could be other non-pregnancy related reasons for this delay. Changes in weight, significant stress, traveling across time zones, or exercising more than usual can affect your cycle. Keep an eye on your health and note any other unusual symptoms. If your period doesn’t arrive in a week or two, or if you have additional concerns or symptoms, consider consulting with a healthcare provider. They might explore other causes like hormonal imbalances or recommend further investigations. It’s important you feel reassured by getting the right follow-up if necessary, to ensure your overall well-being.
