Patient's question:
My girlfriend's menstrual cycle used to be around the 8th or 9th of the month. After taking emergency contraception on November 24th, she developed broken skin between her legs with blood clots on November 28th, which lasted for 6 days. However, until today, January 4th, her period has still not arrived. We are very worried and want to know when her period will come and whether she might be pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Generally, after taking birth control pills, there is a vaginal withdrawal bleeding, which is equivalent to having a menstrual period. It should be absolutely impossible to get pregnant. However, birth control pills can easily lead to endocrine disorders, so it is recommended that you consume them less in the future. Her menstrual period is likely to start around December 28th. However, it is normal for the period to come earlier or later by 10 days. Lastly, during treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
