My periods started on 2nd June. On 22nd June, I took an emergency contraceptive (ipill) after unprotected intercourse. My next period was expected on 3rd July, but it did not come, so I took a home urine pregnancy test on 11th July evening, which was negative. For the past two days, I have been experiencing very dark spotting. What could this mean? Could I still be pregnant, and should I test again?

Ipill can delay periods, cause spotting. Negative test means pregnancy unlikely. Repeat urine test in 2 days (morning urine). See doctor if no period in a week.

I am a PCOD patient. A few days ago, I consulted a doctor who suggested some tests and recommended taking Primolut N (5 mg) for my upcoming period. After my period, I shared my report with the doctor and she suggested the medicine Crisanta. My query is that my period is currently missed, can I take Primolut N now or not?
