What Causes Severe Body Pain After Taking An I-pill?

Posted on Tue, 21 Feb 2017

Question: Hello doctor, I am 20 years old, I had my last period on 1st XXXXXXX , I later had sexual intercourse on 21st XXXXXXX using a condom and in the morning took an I pill just to be sure. On 1st feb I took a urine pregnancy test and it was negative. Today is 3rd Feb and i still haven't got my periods but my breasts are sore and I have body pain. Are these just the side effects of I pill or am i pregnant even though we used a condom and I took I pill? Are there any chances of pregnancy? I have been really worried and stressed

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy not likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The delay in periods and soreness in breasts can be due to hormonal disturbance caused by the i-pll that you took. The chances of pregnancy are less than 5%. it is best to wait for your periods for one week more and test your urine again after 10th Feb to rule out pregnancy for sure.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
