Patient's question:
In three months, I took the birth control pill twice. After this sexual encounter, I took the 72-hour emergency contraceptive pill within 24 hours. Now, my period is delayed by half a month and hasn't arrived yet. The past two days, I've felt extremely cold, shivering, nauseous, and had stomach pain. I dislike eating sour foods, and have no appetite for anything else. Hello doctor, is it possible I'm pregnant? Is it still useful to buy a pregnancy test now? Can it detect it?Doctor's answer:
Side effects of emergency contraception pills. In addition to some common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, fatigue, breast swelling, bleeding, and delayed menstruation. It is considered that some women may experience endocrine disorders due to continuous use of emergency contraception pills. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you can check and test blood HCG 10 days after the last sexual intercourse to see if it is better to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
