Not having periods after taking pills
Hello mam,
I had unprotected sex with my bf two days ago. he had pulled it out in time but just for safety i had taken contraceptive pills (unwanted 72). Since then i've been having tummy cramps and pain in legs and have also seen spotting. Does spotting confirms that i won't get pregnant or there are still chances of it? And till how long would the side effects sustain?

Hi..... In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, mentrual irregularities occurs..
Periods can be delayed for a single cycle or it can be delayed in every cycle. If the delay is in only a single cycle, the most likely cause is a temporary cause like stress. If the periods are delayed but regular in every cycle, then the chances are that the woman has a naturally long menstrual cycle and that this delay in her periods is normal for her
