Is it normal for a 15-year-old who has been taking birth control pills to still not have their period?

Patient's question:

I am 15 years old. Because of early love and having sex again without taking proper protection, I took birth control pills afterward. However, by the 28th, my period still hasn't come. I feel sad about getting pregnant at such a young age. Hello, is it normal for a 15-year-old to still not have their period after taking birth control pills by the 28th?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to the situation you described, if you take emergency contraception promptly after cohabitation, the success rate of breastfeeding is very high. However, it is also necessary to rule out the possibility of successful breastfeeding and it is better to go to the hospital for a blood test to check HCG and clarify the pregnancy status. If you are not pregnant, it is likely due to the menstrual irregularity caused by taking emergency contraception. You can take Yimu Granules or Funing Granules to nourish blood, activate blood circulation, and promote menstruation.
