Hi mam,
Actually we started having Protective sex on 2nd October from 6 pm till 5th October 2 am (early morning) having intervals in between.
I pill taken on 5th October at 2 pm (that is 68 hours from first sex we had on 2nd oct 6 PM).we also check condoms were broken or not,but condoms were perfectly fine.
my period was due on 6th October ,but today is 7th October,still i have not got periods,does i pill delays period if taken just one day before start of cycle ???
please help urgently.
and also we did not have any unprotected sex during that period and i did not had sex before 2nd October
last month I had period on 8th sep (1st day of cycle)which was regular and this period was due on 6th oct .my cycle is usually about 28 days.
Please help very urgently. I am so much worried

Brief Answer:
RELAX, I PILL CAN POSTPONE PERIODS
Detailed Answer:
Do not worry please.
I pill does affect the expected period.
It can prepone or postpone it by even upto a week.
So relax.
You will definitely have a period within the next week sometime.
Risks of pregnancy are very very low because you used condoms, took the I pill plus having sex just before your period is due is less likely to result in a pregnancy as ovulation is not possible at this time.
So stop worrying.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
WAIT FOR ONE WEEK MORE
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for the appreciation.
Please wait for one more week, am sure you would menstruate by then.
Try and not stress out, stress will further delay your cycles.
