Hello doctor,
I am taking oral contraceptives 1 pill a month every day. Normally, I take it on the 10th, but this month I started to stop taking it and on the 17th I had sex and took emergency contraception but on the 22nd day of my monthly period, I didn't. found yes and i was 10 days late. So the doctor asked me if my period is 10 days late after taking the emergency contraceptive pill, is it pregnant or I missed my period, doctor? I sincerely thank you.

Hello,
To the question " 10 days late after taking the emergency contraceptive pill, is it pregnant?" , please be answered as follows:
Emergency contraception is one of the contraceptive options of women when having unprotected sex. After taking emergency contraceptive pills, you may experience some unusual symptoms such as missed period, menorrhagia, bleeding, headache, nausea,...
If the next missed period is too late for too long. , you should check to see if you are pregnant because there are still cases of pregnancy despite taking the pill or possibly having gynecological diseases.
If you still have questions about the delay of your period 10 days after taking the emergency contraceptive pill, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for a detailed examination and consultation. Thank you for trusting and asking questions. Wish you health.
Best regards!
