Regular menstrual cycles and pregnancy tests
Posted: 07-08-08 07:48am

Hi all,

i need you help. Please let me know if an i-pill can delay menstrual cycle. if it does for how long?

the problem is me and my girlfriend had un-protected sex on 6th of last month. she had her cycle on 30th. but since we both are virgins we dint have any success and i am sure my semen dint enter her at all.

again we had sex on 26th and we had little success this time. but i made sure i dint cum inside her at all. but we got scared after that and as a precaution she popped a i-pill( it says its an emergency contraceptive).

now, her periods which was due on 30th is delayed. its 8 days delay and she has not got it yet. she complains of all the pains as if she is in her peroids but she is not getting her periods. are the pains any indication that she gets her periods?

Please let me know what could be happening with her.

If her regular period is 8 days late she should take a home pregnancy test as soon as possible. Pains could mean anything and are not reliable indicators of pregnancy or periods.
