Patient's question:
I am 26 years old this year. Recently, I had sex with my husband during the safe period, but immediately after, I took emergency contraception. Now, my period has been delayed for a long time, and I'm a bit worried. I want to ask the doctor, can the menstrual period be delayed after taking emergency contraception during the safe period?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, you had sexual intercourse with your partner during your safe period. If you had sexual intercourse during the safe period and took emergency contraception immediately afterward, it would be unlikely to result in pregnancy. The current delay in your menstrual cycle could be due to the side effects of the emergency contraception you previously took. I wish the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
