Patient's question:
Doctor, I am taking the birth control pill for the first time. I want to know, I haven't had my period for a month since I started taking the pill. What should I do? Why am I not getting my period after taking the birth control pill? What's wrong with me? Why is this happening?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, if there has been sexual activity previously, and if the menstrual period is delayed by more than 15 days, it is recommended to rule out pregnancy. This is because birth control pills cannot fully support breastfeeding. Additionally, birth control pills themselves can cause menstrual delays. So, in your situation, the first step is to rule out pregnancy, and on the other hand, it is important to observe carefully. In these days, avoid spicy foods and overwork. If the delay is more than 15 days, it is recommended to have a thorough check-up at the hospital.
