Your delayed period is normal and expected because you took two I-pills, which disrupt the cycle. Pregnancy is very unlikely. Wait another 7–10 days for your period. Take a pregnancy test only if it still doesn’t come.

Hello Sheetal By going through your history and evaluation of your health status I must say that nothing to Worry at all . You are not pregnant . And about your period I must say that it’s been because of your hormonal balance. See whenever you take pills it work as a new cycle because of disturbance in the hormone so your next period is mostly around 26th nov to start of December…

So nothing to Worry and if you have any queries feel free to ask

Thank you

Hello,

Dont worry YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT

Your symptoms (spotting, late period, discharge) are very normal side effects of taking two I-pills in one cycle, and do not suggest pregnancy.

🛑You can take a urine pregnancy test at home today to confirm, but the chance of pregnancy is very low.

I trust this helps Feel free to talk Thank you

Hello dear See the periods are getting delayed because I pill caused modification or alterations in your hormonal cycles. Hence spotting is there but chances of pregnancy are almost nil. However for 1 percent doubt kindly get pregnancy strip test blood HCG for confirmation after 7-10 days Hopefully iam clear with your query Regards

Hello Sheethal, I understand your worry. Taking 2 iPills can cause menstrual irregularities. People even don’t get their periods for entire two months straight. You will probably be fine.

Still, if you don’t get your periods in the next 5-7 days, then do a home Urine Pregnancy Test, just yo clear things out. If it comes negative, you can just wait for your period to come. No issues.

Feel free to reach out again.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med

Till today I feel normal today, like no periods too till today . If i test urin Tommorow for pregnancy, will it be 100% accurate! Like itsbeen 20 days till delayed period and 29 days after intercourse

As your expected period date was 2nd November, there are high chances that your urine test will be accurate.

No test can ever be 100% accurate. But if your urine test comes out negative tomorrow, you can be relaxed that you are not pregnant.

After that, if you want your periods to come come, I can prescribe you a medicine, but that depends on your need. My opinion is that there is no need to take medicine to get periods, but if you insist so much, then we can start.

Hi Sheetal,

It’s quite common to experience changes in your period after taking emergency contraceptive pills like iPill, especially if taken more than once in a cycle.

These pills can delay your period, cause irregular bleeding, or change the discharge, all of which are expected side effects.

Since your period is delayed, it’s important to confirm your status: please do a urine pregnancy kit test at home to be sure.

If your test is negative and your period still does not start in another week, visit a gynecologist for further check-up.

Try to stay calm—these symptoms are usually temporary and should settle in a cycle or two.

Best wishes,

Dr. Nikhil Chauhan

Checking Tommorow morning will i get 100 💯 accurate result?

Hi sheetal,

A urine pregnancy test done tomorrow morning after a missed period is about 99% accurate, but no test is 100%

Please stay calm—doing a urine pregnancy test tomorrow morning after a missed period will give you a very reliable result.

now i haven’t got my periods till today 22 November and i tested urin pregnancy test today which was negetive but due to my anxiety i checked with my flash on i sow an like which is lighter as that won’t be able to see without the flash and closer look does this means am pregnant or this much days it should be dark in colour right, this test can read hCG of 25mlU/ml , Can I count it as negative

Based on what you described, the risk of pregnancy is very low, especially since you were just 3 days after your period and the exposure was minimal. However, flipping a condom that touched semen can carry a small risk, so emergency contraception can be considered within 72–120 hours if you feel anxious.

For reassurance and proper guidance, it’s best to consult a gynecologist, especially if your next period is delayed or you develop unusual symptoms.

The situation you’re describing is quite common following the use of emergency contraceptive pills like the i-pill. These pills can significantly affect your menstrual cycle, leading to changes such as delay or irregular periods and unusual spotting, exactly as you’ve observed. Emergency contraceptives contain a high dose of hormones which can disrupt your regular cycle, often leading to a late period. It’s worth noting that this effect can vary between individuals – some may experience bleeding sooner, while others might have delays. The spotting you mentioned could also be due to hormonal fluctuations caused by the i-pill. Now, even though these cycle changes are indeed common, if your period doesn’t resume as expected, it would be prudent to take a pregnancy test. This can provide reassurance, especially after two episodes of using the i-pill and having additional menstrual changes. Should the test be positive or if there are any other concerning symptoms, consulting with a healthcare provider promptly would be advisable. It’s important to remember that frequent usage of emergency contraception isn’t recommended as a regular contraceptive method, mainly due to its potential side effects and reduced efficacy compared to regular contraceptives. If you’re consistently needing emergency contraception, it might be helpful to discuss with a healthcare provider about exploring more effective and reliable birth control options. This can help prevent future incidents of this nature and ease some of the associated anxiety. While these symptoms align with what you might anticipate post-i-pill usage, noticing any severe abdominal pain or persistent heavy bleeding should prompt a medical evaluation, as these could signify other medical issues that need addressing.
