Does Taking Ipill Cause Irregular Periods?
Hey Doc, i have not got my menses from past two months nor I am pregnant. I have taken i pills 3-4 times after intercourse as a preventive measure not to pregnant. is there any side effects of those pills? because i have noticed that after intake of the pills my periods became irregular instead it was regular beforehand. Please advise why is it so that i have not got my periods for last two months. Can I be suffering from ovarian cyst? I am 27 years old and am looking forward to conceive in 3-4 years from now.

Hi,
Emergency pills contain excess hormone enough to disturb the normal hormonal milieu. This creates menstrual irregularities like withdrawal bleed, delayed cycles and inter-menstrual spotting. Since you have taken many pills in one cycle, your cycles have gone wayward. You need a proper evaluation by an expert, get a complete hormonal profile and a trans-vaginal sonogram to exclude local causes like ovarian cysts and get proper hormonal course to attain regular cycles. Please do not use these pills at random. They are meant to be used for the real emergencies only once or twice in a year. Hope this helps.
