Patient's question:
Taken emergency contraception pill, later menstruation came on time, this month delayed eight days and still hasn't arrived. Treatment history and effect: For the first four days, I used a test strip and there was no pregnancy sign. What help do I need: Is it due to the emergency contraception pill, or am I pregnant?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the possibility of pregnancy in your case is relatively low. The success rate of emergency contraception pills is not 100%, and if there is a delay in menstruation, the possibility of pregnancy needs to be ruled out. If there is no pregnancy, the delay in menstruation is related to the previous oral intake of emergency contraception pills. There is indeed a possibility of failure when taking emergency contraception pills, and not all individuals taking emergency contraception pills will experience withdrawal bleeding. If menstruation is delayed by one week, an early pregnancy test should be conducted. The discomfort in the breasts and other symptoms may still be related to premenstrual symptoms.
