Patient's question:
My girlfriend had her period on November 5th. We had sexual intercourse on the 15th and 16th, and she took emergency contraception on the morning of the 17th. Today is December 10th, and she still hasn't had her period. Could she be pregnant? Please tell me what to do. (After taking the emergency contraception, she ate several bananas, and she also took some cold medicine recently when she had a cold. Could these medications interact with the emergency contraception, making it ineffective?) We are very worried. Please help us!!! Thank you!First follow-up question: Hello,
We don't plan to have a child right now, if
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your period is delayed and hasn't arrived, you can use an early pregnancy test to check and determine. If the result shows negative, it means pregnancy is excluded. The delay in your period may be related to taking the Ovral emergency contraceptive pill. It's recommended to relax and wait a bit longer for your period. If the early pregnancy test shows positive, it confirms pregnancy.
