Hi, my cycle is a normal 28-29 days cycle. Which probably was 3-4 days after ovulation. Ive had protected sex on 23rd Oct and took an ipill within 50 hours just to be safe. I got my periods on 1st Nov which was exactly 28 days from my previous cycle. But my second month has been delayed now, counting from 1st Nov I should have got my periods on 28-29th Nov. But still havent gotten it. Is it the ipill or could I be pregnant?
HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern.The I pill is known for altering the normal pattern of your menstrual cycle. It can advance or postpone your expected cycles by up to a week. But this affect generally does not persist beyond a month. What you are experiencing this month is probably not related to the pill. Make sure that pregnancy is conclusively ruled out.Also, stress, anxiety, emotional turbulence, weight gain, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian disease, change in sleep or diet habits - all these can cause a skipped period, apart from pregnancy. If you do not menstruate within a week more, and pregnancy is ruled out, then you would require a gynecological evaluation to know the cause. Take care.
