Could Taking An I-pill After Intercourse Affect My Menstrual Cycle, Causing A Delay?
Question: sir,iam married since 4 months.i had my periods on 22nd march.it continues for 5 days.on the 4th day i had an intercourse with my husband.after that within 24 hours i took a i-pill out of fear.my periods are very regular.but till today i have no periods.i have done home pregnancy test for 2 times it was negative.
Brief Answer:
First 5 days are safer
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The chances of pregnancy are less during the first 10 days of the cycle. Usually the ovum is relased on 14th day of the cycle. Sometiems a day or two early in case your periods are short. The first 5 days are much safer, the chances of ovulation in first 5 days is almost nil.
4th day can be considered safe for intercourse not expecting conception, need not worry, wait till the due date. In case, period bleeding doesnt occur a week after the due date, then you can go for pregnancy test.
Even without pregnancy, a period can be delayed or missed in many. This can happen due to hormonal imbalance, most of times which need no intervention.
Hope I answered your query. Wish you good health.
Regards
