Patient's question:
Your girlfriend was supposed to have her period at the end of the month. Last month, she took birth control pills, and she didn't have her period at the end of the month. Could she get pregnant if she didn't use a condom at the beginning of this month?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if your period is delayed, it could be due to pregnancy or menstrual irregularities caused by taking emergency contraception pills. It is recommended that you first use a pregnancy test kit with morning urine for testing, or visit a hospital to check blood hCG levels to confirm pregnancy. If pregnancy is ruled out, it would be menstrual irregularities, which generally do not require treatment and will return to normal after some time. Emergency contraception pills have significant side effects and should not be taken frequently.
