I have used Sevista 60 mg from 26th June till 11th August. I am not having periods though my pregnancy test report is negative. How long should I wait for my periods to come? If I want to have sex, will I start Overal L again in this situation? Will Overal L give me protection against pregnancy? Will it take months or days for my periods to normalize since I stopped Sevista on 11th August? In the absence of periods, if I start Ovral L, will it prevent pregnancy?

Periods can delay after Sevista. Ovral L can prevent pregnancy if taken from Day 1 of cycle or with backup for 7 days. Consult your doctor before restarting. Do the required pregnancy test again if in doubt.

How many days after having sex or a missed period should a urine HCG test be done to get accurate results?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is it necessary to take a pregnancy test only with early morning urine? My period is delayed by 20 days, will the result still be accurate if I take the test at night or at any other time of the day?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

For the past few months, I have been experiencing irregularities in my menstrual cycle, with delays in my periods. This month, I have missed my period entirely. All my blood tests and ultrasound reports are normal.
