Hello,

It is not normal to experience severe abdominal pain, whatever the cause may be. I cannot for sure correlate your pain with an impending period.

The use of an emergency contraceptive pill creates hormone imbalance, hence there can be a delay in the next natural period. Pain can be due to a possible cyst in the ovary, pelvic congestion, or an undetected pregnancy.

I would ask you to have a proper evaluation if you miss your period by a week. Prefer regular contraception in future.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shanti Vennam
