Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Oral Contraceptive Pill?

Posted on Mon, 7 Sep 2015

Question: I am 2 days late for my period. I had taken ipill within 48 hrs of intercourse 15 days back. I took a home pregnancy test today day 2 of my missed period and it came negative. Should I wait fr few more days or can I go to doctor to check pregnancy.?
I do not want to continue with it if it is positive. Please advise if pills r safe to terminate pregnancy because I am scared of any kind of insertion or surgery.
Can I go to any hospital to abort?

Brief Answer:
Wait for your periods

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There is nothing to worry as this delay is because of the ipill and thus your periods will come in a few days.
Chances of pregnancy are grim because of ipill intake and negative pregnancy test even after 15 days of sexual intercourse.
So nothing to worry and just wait for your periods.
Take care
Regards
Dr Manisha

Thank you. How many more days should I wait? I have slight headache from 2 days and feel little tired. Is this symptoms of pregnancy ?

Brief Answer:
Due to delayed periods

Detailed Answer:
Most likely not as these are side effects of delayed periods and will get relieved after periods.
So just wait for another week and in case you don't get them then take progesterone for withdrawal of periods.
But in my opinion you will get your periods soon.
All the best.
