Patient's question:
When having sex, my husband doesn't like using condoms, so I have to take birth control pills. How long does it take for my period to come after taking birth control pills? I haven't had my period for a month. Is it possible that I'm pregnant? I'm feeling various discomforts in my body, like aches all over, and my mood has also become irritable.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, emergency contraception pills will never affect menstruation. For some individuals, menstruation may occur one week earlier or later after taking them. Even if emergency contraception pills are taken strictly according to the instructions, there can still be occasional successful cases. Therefore, if your menstruation is delayed and you are experiencing various discomforts in your body, you should take a test to see if the contraception was successful. If there is no unexpected pregnancy, you can simply wait quietly.
