No withdrawal bleeding after takinh m pill . Its been 7 days . What to do ?

Answered by Dr. Khushboo Priya (7 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Wait for your periods.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic.
It is not necessary to bleed after taking emergency pill everytime. Wait for the periods. If it gets delayed, do a urine pregnancy test at home. If negative, wait for one more week and repeat the pregnancy test.

Got bleeding today . How to understand wether its withdrawal bleeding or periods as my last period was on 24th march .

Answered by Dr. Khushboo Priya (9 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Hi, it can be your periods.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I think it can be your periods. So, you are not pregnant if you are having a proper bleeding.

Withdrawal bleeding will also be similar to periods only. You can't make any difference. But generally withdrawal bleeding occurs after taking progesterone or a combination of estrogen and progesterone for a long duration. Anyways, it doesn't matter now in your case.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query, I will be happy to help.
Regards
