Patient's question:
My girlfriend's menstrual cycle is usually around 28 days. In late October, we had sex, and I used withdrawal. Afterward, she secretly bought emergency contraception pills. About a week later, on November 5th, she got her period, which arrived on the same day as usual, around 28 days.From November 27th to 29th, we were together again. This time, I didn’t ejaculate because I was a bit tired from not resting well, so we stopped halfway. But her period was supposed to come around December 3rd. Today is the 6th, and she still hasn’t gotten her period.
What help do I need: I would like to know: Does taking emergency contraception pills only affect the next menstrual cycle? But her period didn’t delay or move later in November. Also, November 27th to 29th should have been the safe period, right? And since I didn’t ejaculate, why hasn’t she gotten her period yet? Could she be pregnant? How likely is it that she is pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Assumption of the condition: Delayed menstruation may be due to pregnancy, inflammation, gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, environmental factors, and emotional state, among others.Advice: Currently, it is important to rest and maintain proper nutrition. Always keep the affected area clean and hygienic. Avoid spicy foods. It is recommended to use morning urine for an early pregnancy test or visit the hospital for blood tests to measure HCG and undergo ultrasound diagnosis to identify the cause and receive treatment. Pay attention to personal lifestyle habits and maintain a healthy diet.
