Hi Ms. Dutta,

Thanks for writing to us.

As the emergency pill has excess hormone, it disrupts the normal hormonal balance of the body. This has caused the bleeding on the 10th that you had after the use of the pill. This is the withdrawal bleeding and not the usual cycle. As such, you may not see it again on the same date.

As your natural cycle was disturbed, your period is ought to get delayed. If you do not see your period even after two weeks of your expected date i.e., 27th, please see a specialist for an examination and further management.

You are almost 100% protected if you have taken the pill within the stipulated time after the unprotected intercourse.

Please remember that use of the emergency pill should be restricted to once or twice a year for the real emergencies and it would be advisable to opt for a regular form of contraception instead.

Hope I have clarified your query. Please feel free to contact if you need further clarifications. I will be happy to help.

regards,

Hormonal imbalances affecting future fertility.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Apart from the usual side effects of any hormonal medication like tender breasts, headaches, bloating, vascular disturbances, menstrual disturbances, these emergency pills owing to their high hormone content create hormonal disturbances. If there is constant use of these pills, it can lead to permanent hormonal imbalance and can lead to persistent menstrual disturbances and infertility problems. You should go for a regular contraception; you can choose one from the several available that suits your needs best.

Hope I have answered your query. Please get back if you have any more queries. I will be ready to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
