Hello doctor,My husband and I had protected sex on the 15th of the month. I have taken an I-pill on the 17th. There is no withdrawal bleeding yet. I was worried about a pregnancy as there was some pre-ejaculate involved. So, I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Now, when can I expect my period? Or is there still a chance I am pregnant?
Hello. Since you have taken an emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of intercourse, there is no chance of pregnancy. The delay could be because of hormonal changes due to the pill you have taken. Wait for another week or so, and repeat the test with an early morning urine sample to ensure that you are not pregnant. By then, you should be getting your periods. However, if you have a doubt, then get back to me. Take care. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online
