What Casues Delayed Periods While On Postinor 2?

Posted on Fri, 19 Dec 2014

Question: Hi doctors, so here's my situation :
I'm regularly taking pills like postinor2 or escapelle instead of those that need to be consumed daily. So, my period supposed to due on 23-24th I THINK because I couldn't remember when exactly was my period last month.
I had sex with my boyfriend on 24th and took 2 tablets of postinor2 immediately. And on the 27th we had sex and I took postinor2 again. 2 pills each time, Total of 4 pills for both time. Now am I supposed to be expecting my period although it delayed or what? Could I be pregnant?

Brief Answer:
Delayed periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Basic fact that you don't remember your last period date makes it difficult to predict whether your periods are delayed.

Looking at precautions you have taken each time after intercourse, your chances of pregnancy are very less and there seems to be delayed periods and not to worry about pregnancy.

Dear doctor, I'm experiencing pain on my lower abdomen. I thought it was gastric but the pain did not go away with medication. My company's panel doctor said if the pain persists, I need to be hospitalized and do a check up. It hurts so much to the extent I can't get any sleep right now. What could be the cause? Is it gastric or is it my menstrual?

Answered by Dr. Soumya (4 hours later)

Brief Answer:
premenstrual pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi

This appears to be related to premenstrual pain. You Need to request for antispasmodic tablets like meftal spas from your doctor.

There is no need for hospitalization as of now. You can consider if pain is not relieved by tablets i mentioned.
