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.

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?

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 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?
