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.

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 had unprotected intercourse on 17th November, which was my last day of fertile window, and after 7 hours I took an i pill. My period was due on 25th November but I did not get my period and I got some discharge mixed with brown blood on 26th and 27th November. I am feeling menstrual symptoms but not getting my period. I have done a urine pregnancy test and it was negative. Is this a side effect of the i pill?
