Patient's question:
After taking birth control pills, my period is not normal, it has been delayed. I had sex after taking birth control pills, but I still had my period afterwards, but I'm still worried about getting pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you provided, the situation you described—delayed menstruation after taking oral contraceptives—is normal. How many days has your period been delayed? Generally, a delay of 3 to 7 days is considered normal. If you don’t have any other symptoms, you can wait and see. Pay attention to personal hygiene, or you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the condition of your endometrium. You can also take progesterone capsules orally for three consecutive days, and after stopping the medication, wait a few days to see if your period comes. If you’re still not sure, it’s recommended that you go to a regular public hospital’s gynecology department for a follow-up examination and proper treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
