Question : Good afternoon
me and my partner had unprotected sex the day after her period, the next morning we purchased levonelle. a week later my partner had bleeding from her vagina light then heavy for 3-4 days. and now she is 5 days late for her period.
should we be worried or is her lateness a likely cause for the delay?

Brief Answer:
It could be due to hormonal imbalance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

The delayed menses is most likely due to hormonal imbalance.

But you have to get her pregnancy test if she will not resume her period within 10 days of your expected period date.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.

Good luck.
