When you start taking the contraceptive pill, there’s something you should know: it won’t protect you right away. It takes about seven days to start working. While you’re waiting for it to kick in, make sure to use an extra form of protection such as condoms so that pregnancy doesn’t occur. Some people may get mild side effects like headaches or feeling sick when they first try this type of birth control but these usually go away with time if taken properly.

The day my period was due I did foreplay on that day, now my period is not coming after that.

Stress, alterations in routine, or hormonal imbalances can affect your cycle. At times, periods can be delayed for a few days. In the case of still not having a period for a week, then take a pregnancy test to make sure that it is not a pregnancy. However, the most important is to take care of yourself and be calm.

Do ipill delay periods? How effective is an ipill tablet when taken between 48-72 hours? And for how long can they delay periods and when should I opt for a preg. Test? After sex, she got her periods after 3-4 days (for 3 days which is normal in her case) and they were painless this time with clots. Was that the withdrawal bleeding? It's been a month and 7 days since last that last bleeding and she hasn't got her periods yet. Is it a possible pregnancy? (p.s sex happened on the day she was supposed to get her periods)

Does ipill delay periods? Yes if taken properly as prescribed periods delay due to ipill. The effectiveness of the i-pill decreases the longer you wait to take it and taking it within 48-72 hours is the most effective time frame.If your concerned do a pregnancy test around 2-3 weeks after the date of the last unprotected intercourse. This will give the most accurate result.

It is advisable to make an appointment with your obstetrician/gynecologist for confirmation of your pregnancy and for any prenatal care as soon as possible. A pregnancy specialist will be sent to direct you on the journey and give any clarification on questions or worries you have.
