My last period was in the first week of September. I had sex the next week and took an I pill within 48 hours, after which I spotted a few drops of brown blood after five days. I missed my period in October. This month, my period started 10 days late with pink blood accompanied by a transparent sticky discharge. The blood darkened on the second day. This period began with severe lower back pain, left stomach pain, lower abdominal pain, dizziness, a racing heart at night, and nausea. I took a home pregnancy test a week ago, which was negative. I was examined physically, but the doctor was not sure about pregnancy.

Emergency pills like iPill can cause delayed or irregular periods, spotting, and hormonal symptoms. Your symptoms (pain, sticky discharge, dizziness) may be side effects or cycle disruption, not pregnancy. A negative home test after several weeks strongly rules out pregnancy. To be fully sure, do a Beta HCG blood test and pelvic ultrasound.

Question

Question

I had withdrawal bleeding last month on 21st October as I had taken two unwanted 72 pills on 11th and 14th October. After that, I consulted a doctor and she said to take a home pregnancy test and that my periods may be irregular in the coming two months. I have taken 4 home pregnancy tests with Prega News and all 4 tests were negative, but I still have not got my periods. What should I do? Please help me out.

Question

My last period was on 22nd May, and I have not had any periods since then. I took several home pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. My doctor initially advised taking Evacare for 3 months, and recently recommended taking progesterone 5 mg for 5 days. What should I expect, and is this the correct approach?
