What causes delayed periods after taking emergency pills? – Dr. Teena S Thomas

lifestyle No Comments »

Emergency contraception is a progestrone called Levonorgestrel. This has to be taken within 72 hrs of unprotected sex.Basic side effect is irregular bleeding, therefore possibilities of delay by 6 days or it has come early. If patient takes emergency contraceptive in 4th or 5 th day of period then cycle will come within a week.Bleeding can happen in 1 week and repeat bleeding after 1 more week.Patient may have no bleeding as this was not required hence cycle can be delayed by 3 or 4 weeks. there is no relation to menses which was delayed 6 days now as compared o last time.Emergency contraception should not be taken for regular contraception , if taken regularly this will cause irregular bleeding.

I had this question the other day after reading or hearing something. I dug into what information I could find online, and figured there were other ladies out there with the same curiosity. While there was less out there on this topic than I was expecting I got my question answered.

I got a bit of flack in my last video about chemicals. Apparently I shouldn’t just say “chemicals” because some may be confused due to the fact everything is made from chemicals. So, I just want to start by saying that the chemicals I’m talking about are those that are being put into things that are causing harm, such as those that are endocrine disruptors, messing with not only the female reproductive system, but the male reproductive system as well. We wonder why so many girls and women have messed up menstrual cycles, and I think what’s in our environment has a lot to do with it.

I’m sure almost everyone has heard the term “endocrine disruptor”, but who’s taken the time to look into it? I’m just now taking the time. Let’s learn together!
