Could contraceptive pill delay my period by 1 day?

Patient's Query

I have had a intercourse and during intercourse protection got broke and I consulted a doctor and took contraceptive pill 72 and the last period I had on was october 2nd and now it's a delay of 1 day

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

The pill can sometimes affect your menstrual cycle, causing a delay. Stress, hormonal imbalances, or other factors could also play a role in this delay. It's quite common for periods to be a bit off track after taking emergency contraception. My advice would be to try and stay calm, as stress can further delay your period. If your period doesn't arrive within a week, it's a good idea to take a pregnancy test for peace of mind. And remember, if you have any further concerns or the delay continues, don't hesitate to reach out to your gynecologist for personalized advice.

Hi I had unprotected sex with my partner 2 days before my period and 2 days later my period started at the correct time and all but my bleeding is less and I feel nauseous, am I pregnant

Female | 20

It's difficult to determine pregnancy solely based on the timing and characteristics of your period, as there can be variations in menstrual cycles and bleeding patterns. Also , symptoms like nausea can have various causes and may not necessarily indicate pregnancy.

I'm 18 years of old, female. I had an intercourse with my partner 4 days back without any protection but he has not ejacuated inside me. But I'm worried maybe I could be pregnant. What shall I do

Female | 17

Pregnancy symptoms normally do not appear until a few weeks after unprotected sex. Nevertheless, if you are experiencing some stress, you might want to take a pregnancy test around 3 weeks after the sex.

Please assist I had my periods for 2 weeks, they stopped for a week and then I started bleeding again

Female | 25

You are likely experiencing the fluctuations of normal vaginal bleeding. Bleeding for 2 weeks, a break, and then a period again could be due to hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, polyps, or fibroids in your uterus. The primary step here is to see your doctor who will examine you and order tests to find out the exact cause. Medication or minor procedures are the possible treatment options based on the diagnosis.

I had unprotected sex on 10th and 16th of March .Both the times the guy didn't come inside of me but rather I had to give him an oral to finish. I am not sure if or not his semen came in contact with my vagina. I couldn't take i pill both the times and now I am worried about pregnancy as I should be getting my periods today or my tomorrow. Pls give me advice and help me as soon as possible.

Worrying about pregnancy is normal. Pre­-ejaculate can sometime­s lead to pregnancy, but chances are­ lower than regular ejaculation. Missing pe­riods, nausea, exhaustion, and sore bre­asts indicate early pregnancy symptoms. Taking a pre­gnancy test from drugstores or clinics provides clarity. It's wise­ to eliminate doubt. If not pregnant, using prote­ction during sex consistently preve­nts unintended pregnancie­s and sexually transmitted infections.

My hcg level stated that it’s 335, meaning I should be 2 weeks along however my period I yet to come in 2-3 days. Scan revealed nothing . My last period was in 16tg October. Could I be pregnant ?

Female | 23

BASED on your hCG level, YOU could be pregnant... However, the scan DIDN'T show anything yet... Your last period was on 16th October, so it's possible you're just a little over 2 weeks pregnant... You should wait a few more days and take another test... If it's positive, schedule an appointment with your doctor.
