Late with periods
My friend took contraceptive pill immediately after intercourse, its been a month now and she's 6 days late with her periods.She took pregnancy test at home which showed both positive and negative results.Should we wait or consult a doctor?
Ask your friend to repeat the test. It cannot be positive & negative at the same time.
Next Steps
In case of discrepancy, get beta HCG blood test done.
Health Tips
Emergency contraception pill gives a high dose of the progesterone hormone to the body and alters the cycle regularity. The delay can be due to that as well if not pregnant.
