Brief Answer:
wait for periods

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, I understand your anxiety.
Actually you have deranged your hormone profile by taking ipill repeatedly which has progesterone.
Now as the pregnancy test is negative so nothing to worry and just wait for your periods which will come in a week or so.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
bHCG test advised for confirmation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

I know what you are going through, but believe me these tests are very perfect with false negative rate of less than 0.4%.

Plus you have done multiple times so accuracy is even more.

If you want confirmation, get a bHCG test which is a blood test and accurate.

There are no ontoward side effects in the waiting period even if you are pregnant.

All the best.

Brief Answer:
tablet norethisterone advised

Detailed Answer:
Effect of ipill can last for a couple of months and thus you can have irregular periods.
Your periods will come in a week or so probably but if you are really nervous then take tablet norethisterone 5 mg thrice a day for 3 days and then you will get periods in 2-5 days after leaving the medicines.
Take care

Brief Answer:
wait for periods

Detailed Answer:
In nothing to worry dear.
Now don't take any tablet and wait for your periods.
They will come in next 2-5 days.
Medical termination is usually safe but you don't have any risk of pregnancy so won't need to take the pills for termination.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
no risk of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Your anxiety is genuine but all you need to do is to wait for periods as it takes almost 2-5 days for periods to come after stopping the drug.
All these sequence of events is because of repeated ipill intake and not pregnancy.
There is absolutely no risk of pregnancy and you will get your periods in coming few days from now.
Just relax and wait for them.
Also from the first day of your periods start contraceptive pill intake so that you can have an anxiety free sexual life and also saved from the side effects of ipill.

Brief Answer:
Tablet norethisterone advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, i know your anxiety and if you want to talk to ne you can ask health care magic to arrange a phone call for the same.
in my opinion as your pregnancy tests have been negative so far along with intake of numerous ipills its just a simpke delay in periods.
But best will be to take tablet norethisterone 5 mg thrice a day for three days as told you earlier and you will get your periods soon after leaving the pills.
I know its difficult for you to wait this long but there is no other easier alternative tgan this.
All the best.
