Hi, last month on the last day of my period, I had sex, and the condom broke, so he cum inside me. I took an IPill within 12 hours, but after a week, some brown bleeding occurred which continued for four days. My menstrual cycle is 28 days. I am now three days late for my period and did a home pregnancy test, which was negative. Should I be worried?

Brown bleeding is a common side effect of emergency contraception (i pill). A 3 day delay in periods can be due to hormonal shifts from the pill. A negative test after 3 days delay is reassuring, but retest after 2 to 3 days for confirmation. No immediate need to worry unless periods are delayed beyond 10 to14 days. Keep tracking cycles and symptoms.

My last period date was July 6. I had IUI on July 19. I have not got my period yet. When should I check for pregnancy?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a 28 day cycle, but today is the 31st day, and I have not yet gotten my period. We have been trying for a baby for the last few months. Is this missed period a sign of pregnancy? After how many days of a missed period should a home pregnancy test be done?

I got my HCG test report and it shows below 1.2 mg. My period is due in 3 days. What should I do to get my periods? Please help me.
