What Causes Delayed Periods Post Intake Of Morning After Pill?

Hi Doctor, I was on a prescription of primolut n for 40 days to prevent my period and on the last day of my prescription I had sex and the condom broke.

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think you have hormonal imbalance due to morning after pill and primolut as a side effects.
You also confirm pregnancy by urinary hcg kit/blood hcg/usg.
Note side effects of pills:

Nausea or vomiting
Dizziness
Fatigue
Headache
Breast tenderness
Bleeding between periods or heavier menstrual bleeding, irregular/delayed period
Lower abdominal pain or cramps

Following are the reason for late:
1. High level of stress
2. Change in life style
3. Late ovulation
4. Excessive exercise
5. Drugs: Birth control pills, tyroid medication, Excessive tea and caffeine
6. Thyroid problem
7. Hormonal imbalane: i think this is the main cause in your case.
8. PCOS
9. Endometriosis
10. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding


Also note that
Menstruation required co ordinate action of various hormone that secreted by ovary (estrogen and progesterone) and brain (FSH and LH).
If any above hormone is decreased or increased there is imbalance in menstruation.
So please do full hormonal profile : Estrogen, progestron, LH, FSH, HCG and thyroid hormone.
That help to diagnose hormonal imbalance.
Also do Follicle study, endometrial biopsy and hysteroscopy.

Relaxation exercise and musical therapy
Do regular walking and exercise.
Eat healthy diet
Avoid excessive tea and caffeine
Maintain hygiene Wash your vagina with warm salt water 4-5 times in a day
Wear loose pure cotton inner wear
Keep the vagina clean (Not wet)
Eat fruits like orange, papaya and pomengranate

After confirmation you can take treatment according So please go ahead.

Hope this may help you
All the best.
Stay healthy.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
