Question : hello doctor, my last period was on 25th feb, which lasted for almost 4 days. on fifth day I had unprotected sex with my husband so I took an I-pill . again after a week due to condom failure I took one pill . I got my periods again on 9th march which was proper and heavy bleeding that lasted for 3 days. since then I didn't had sex with my husband . but I am worried will my next period would be due on 25th march or around 9th april. I haven't got my periods yet as it is 26th already so will it be delayed to 9th.

Brief Answer: It can occur anytime between now and april 9 Detailed Answer: Hello, You have taken 2 Ipills within a month, and your last period was on 9th March. Your next period could be anytime between now and April 9th. The Ipill definitely changes the cycle. Please wait until April 9th to get your periods. You can get it anytime in this time duration. In this time, do not use Ipill again. Hope this helps.

is there any chances of getting pregnant even though my husband and I never had any physical relations since my last period and not even during the period days?

Brief Answer: no chance of pregnancy that way Detailed Answer: Hello, No, there is no way of you getting pregnant without having any physical relations with your husband since the time of your last period. There must be sperms to cause pregnancy, I am sure you know this :) And yes, not even during period days. hope it is clear... Regards,
