Patient's question:
On October 6th, I took emergency contraception. On the 15th, I had a period, but I don't know if it was my actual menstruation. It hasn't come yet. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Last month, I took emergency contraception. If the period that arrived on the 15th is consistent with your usual cycle and the amount is also the same, it proves it is your period. Currently, the delay of two to three days is still within the normal range, so you can wait a few more days. However, if there was bleeding last time, the amount was not significant, and it did not occur at the usual time of your period, it could be considered withdrawal bleeding caused by the medication. You now need to take a pregnancy test with a urine test strip to carefully check if there is a possibility of pregnancy. If the test shows no pregnancy, there is no need to worry. You can wait and see for a while. If you still haven't had your period after a week, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check and decide whether to use medication to induce menstruation.
