Hello doctor! 3-4 weeks ago me and my boyfriend had sex. We used condoms, but later found out that the condom was broken. I used emergency contraception right after that. My period is currently scheduled to come, but I am 2-3 days late. I took a pregnancy test twice but I am not pregnant. So the doctor asked me, is it okay to use emergency contraception after sex with a missed period, is it okay to take a 1 line pregnancy test?

Hello! With the question: 'The use of emergency contraception after sex is delayed, is it okay to take a 1 line pregnancy test? Your doctor would advise you as follows:
Using emergency contraception sometimes causes some symptoms such as: vaginal bleeding, menorrhagia or missed period... You have tested negative: negative. You can monitor further, if after 2 weeks, you still have not had your period or have abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital for examination.
You can go to a reputable medical facility or one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide to get more specific advice from an experienced doctor.
