Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply

1. Plsn B leads to hormonal changes in the body.

2. If you suspect pregnancy get serum beta hCG blood test done to confirm pregnancy.

3. Wait for some time and you will get periods.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
