Delayed Periods, Taken Ipill After Unprotected Sex, Anxious. What To Do ?
Hi doc, I am 29 and have 2 kids. I took an I- Pill last month and it caused 1 day delay in my period which is usually very regular. This month I took 2 I-Pills at different times after unprotected sex....both taken within 24 hours. My period has been delayed by 4 days till today....the anxiety is really getting to me....what should I do?....I m totally not prepared for another pregnancy. I also took tab. Deviry 10mg yesterday thinking it might help to bring the period. How many days more should I wait before taking a pregnancy test?

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
I pill taken within first 72hours following unprotected exposure is quite effective in preventing pregnancy.
I pill is hormonal, because of fluctuation hormonal level, periods may be delayed.
There is no cause of concern, delay is unlikely to be pregnancy induced
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
