Patient's question:
2 months taking 3 emergency contraceptive pills, had a normal period last month, but this month it's less than 7 days and still haven't had a period. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills have significant side effects and cannot be taken regularly. Generally, they should only be taken once a month, and no more than twice a year. Taking emergency contraception pills for two consecutive months may disrupt your body.Now that your period is delayed, it could be due to irregular periods or pregnancy while breastfeeding. It is recommended to wait a few more days and observe carefully. If your period still hasn’t arrived, you can use a pregnancy test with morning urine or visit a regular public hospital for blood hCG testing. This will help confirm how you became pregnant. If pregnancy is ruled out, it is likely an irregular period, which usually resolves after a period of recovery.
