Patient's question:
Since I successfully breastfed, I am sleeping. I have taken oral contraceptives within 12 hours, but now my period has been delayed by several days. I don't know if this is related to the contraceptives. I would like to ask, what should I do if my period is delayed after taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it may be that the delayed menstruation is due to the effect of birth control pills. Generally, birth control pills can cause menstrual irregularities. Additionally, if your menstruation does not come, it may be that you have successfully breastfed, which means you might be pregnant. Therefore, you can wait for a while longer. If your menstruation still does not arrive, it would be better for you to test to see if you are pregnant.
