Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? Is it harmful? Does birth control pill delay menstruation?Doctor's answer:
The condition described by the patient is likely due to the significant side effects of birth control pills. After all, this medication contains hormones, which can easily disrupt the endocrine system and lead to menstrual irregularities. However, it is recommended that the patient use an early pregnancy test strip or a pregnancy test kit to check a few times. Since it has been delayed by more than a week, testing with morning urine would be more accurate. A positive result mostly indicates pregnancy, while a negative result is more likely to be a sign of menstrual irregularity. Emergency contraception pills should be avoided in the future.
