Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Periods have heavy flow volume and less flow volume days and may usually last for 4 to 6 days. It is hard to define normalcy of number of pads per day. On total, one to seven normal sized pads or tampons per period are normal.

I'm really worried and could use some help. My girlfriend and I had sex the day after her period ended, and I gave her an Unwanted 72 pill 48 hours later. A week after taking the pill, she got her period again, and a blood test showed negative for pregnancy. But now, it's been a month since all that, and she hasn't gotten her period again. She's feeling pain in her stomach and like there's something moving in a circular way. Could you tell me what might be going on?

I'm a bit worried because I didnt really have ejaculation during intercourse, but just to be safe, I took an i-pill within 2 hours. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism, and my last period was on August 23rd with a 27-day cycle. I took the pill on September 2nd, and now my period still hasn't arrived. Ive been having period-like cramps since yesterday, but there are no periods, and Im also experiencing back pain. Could there be an issue with the pill or something else going on?
