Brief Answer:
Can have deranged periods for 2-3 months

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX thanks for writing to me.
Yes I remember whole case history and this delay is all because of the prolonged deviry intake and so much so that this derangement can persist for 2-3 months post the event.
But all in all nothing much to worry and all you need right now is to take care of contraception in the form of regular condom use.
In case you have any further questions, I will be glad to answer.
Regards
Dr Manisha
