Brief Answer:
she is not pregnant...options explained.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
thanks fir contacting healthcaremagic.

if her periods have been delayed by more than a week now and if pregnancy test is negative then the next step would be to a ultrasound to check for endometrial thickness of the uterus.
if the thickness is more than 8mm then she can opt for a withdrawal bleed with progesterones to resume her menses.

ideally ipill is known to delay periods by 10 days ...so another option is to wait for total 15 days from missed period to allow menses to start and then opt for above.

please review with an ultrasound report.
regards.

Thanks doctor , but why she was having white discharge , also do we need to do pregnancy test once again or not. her date was on 26th and we did it on 30th

Brief Answer:
explained

Detailed Answer:
The white discharge was due to the progesterone effect and caused increased physiological discharge.

if 26th was the due date and if 30th the pregnancy test is negative without any preg symptoms then it should hold valid. Yet by books it should ideally be done after 7 days...so you may repeat it and follow the advise as explained earlier if test is negative.

thanks.
