Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
Emmergency contraceptive pill acts by postponing ovulation . You had sex on 19th feb.&22st of feb. Pill was given on 19th
.
the pregnancy was prevented by postponing ovulation... there was withdrawal bleeding on 26th
Usually routine period is delayed by .8 days because of emmergency contraceptive pill. But you did not get periods for full month of March.The possibility in such case is-
- As sperms can impregnate a mature ovum till 3 days of ejaculation... The sex on 21 .. can cause pregnancy till 24th..If the postponed ovulation had occured around the date... thereis possibility of pregnancy.
The pregnacy can be confrmed /excluded by Hpt after 15 days of expected date of routine period
Having effect of pill in blood till 26th..this pregnancy needs termination.
-There is major hormonal imbalance causing menstrual disturbance... this needs investigations &specific treatment.
Thanks.
