Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You had sex (unprotected) on 14th of March and your periods were to come on 16th. Provided you had regular periods. It was in the safe period as there was no chance of ovulation and conception 2 days prior to periods.
You had done home pregnancy test on 27th (after 11 days of delay in period) and this was negative thus confirming the absence of pregnancy.
I pill was taken on 27th after an unprotected sex. Usually, I pill causes slight bleeding as withdrawal bleeding on 8th to 10th day and the menstruation is delayed by 8 more days. So you can wait patiently for periods till 11th or 12th of April.
In case it doesn't come in such condition:
Get a consultation of a gynecologist for detailed examination and investigations for finding the cause of delayed period (severe weakness, debilitating disease, psychological tension). With investigation reports, hormonal disturbances like ovarian cyst, PCOD, thyroid problems, and missed abortion can be followed by the specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
