I have skipped my periods this month and I am sexually active. There was a day when I saw some blood and after that there has been no sign, and I have not got my period. I did a urine pregnancy test and it was negative. There was a time when I had unprotected sex but I took a pill immediately the next day. Why is this happening? Is it normal?

Emergency contraceptive pills can delay or disrupt your period for that cycle. Light bleeding or spotting after the pill is common and usually not a full period. A negative urine pregnancy test after 21 days from sex is reliable. Your hormones may take 2 to 4 weeks to settle post pill.

Hi, I am 22 years old and unmarried. I had unprotected anal sex once and took Unwanted 72. That month, I had spotting first and then got my period. The next month, I had protected intercourse using a condom, and the next day I got my period. Now, I have not gotten my period. I had very light dark brown spotting. Is there any risk of pregnancy? I took a pregnancy test 15 days ago, and it was negative.

I usually have a 26 day cycle. I am taking medicine for pregnancy and last month the doctor gave me progesterone Susten after egg rupture. Last month I got my period on 7th. As per my cycle, I was supposed to get my period this month on 3rd, but I still have not got it. Usually, I see brown spotting two days before my period. This time there are no symptoms of period, but I have mild cramps and leg pains for the last two days. Does this mean I am pregnant? When can I do a pregnancy test?
