[|Human|] Ive been on birth control for over eight months now a d take them perfectly. Although,my boyfriend and I started having sex last week. Almost a week ago the condom broke and he came inside me. Me, being stupid, I grabbed two birth control pills and swallowed them to be sure. The next day I accidentally took two pills. I know taking more than one pill is dangerous but I wasnt thinking. Anyway, I am on my 6th day of placebo pills and still havent started my period. Is this because of e extra pills? Or a I pregnant this early?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, The emergency birth control pills are considered effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse. These pills have high hormonal content. And since you have taken 4 pills accidentally, it can cause hormonal imbalance in the body, resulting in delay of periods. However, to relieve your apprehension, you can get a Pregnancy test done using a Pregnancy kit. In case of pregnancy, it will give positive result within one week. The reasons for delay in periods and spotting can be many such as hormonal imbalance(as already explained), ovulatory cycles, stress, any infection or pathology in the uterus, ovary, etc. So, if pregnancy test is negative & periods are further delayed, kindly consult a Gynecologist & get a proper clinical examination done. Investigations like complete blood count, Ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for your symptoms. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
