Doctors’ responses
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.
