Patient's question:
A few days before the period, we had sex and took birth control pills afterward. But it's been several days, and my period still hasn't come. During this time, I've felt like my period was coming, but it hasn't arrived yet. Could I be pregnant? My period is usually irregular anyway!Doctor's answer:
Because the menstrual cycle is usually irregular, ovulation can also be extra irregular. However, after taking emergency contraception pills, the chances of getting pregnant are unlikely. Emergency contraception pills are hormones, which can easily lead to endocrine disorders and irregular menstrual cycles. In your case, you can wait a bit. About 15 days after intercourse, you can test yourself with a pregnancy test strip. If the result is negative, you can confirm that you are not pregnant. It is recommended that patients maintain a balanced intake of nutrients in daily life, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise the body, and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate the recovery process.
