Q. What could be the reason for delayed periods and dizziness after consuming i-Pill?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am good, hope you are also doing well. I have gone through your query and I understand your concern. Usually i-Pill (Levonorgestrel) would not cause any side effects, and if she is having dizziness after two days there must be some other reason like dehydration or something. Emergency contraceptives may delay periods by one or two weeks. So I would suggest waiting for two weeks after her due date, even after her periods would not come, and getting a urine pregnancy test just to clarify, as not all contraceptives are 100 % sure. It would have been better if I would have known her last menstrual date and when you had intercourse.

Hope this information helps you. You can reconnect for further queries.

Thank you.

If her previous cycles were regular then there is almost no chance of getting pregnant. Wait till the month's end even if periods do not come then only do a urine pregnancy test. Stress and recent illness are also reasons for delayed periods. These days PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is very common if such a thing happens in subsequent cycles ask her to do an ultrasound, pelvis scan, and thyroid profile to rule out PCOS and thyroid disorders.

Thank you.

Usually, pill-induced vomiting occurs within hours or on the same day, so this vomiting and fever should not be because of the pill. It could be because of food or viral infection.

My advice:

Consult your specialist doctor, and take medications after consulting them.

1. Take a tablet of PCM (Acetaminophen) 500 mg after a meal only when the fever is there.
2. Take a tablet of Doxynate (Doxylamine and vitamin B6) twice daily for three days.

Are you sure that there was no intercourse in her previous cycles?

Thank you.

If you are sure that there was no intercourse before then this must be because of a viral infection or some food. She is also having abdominal pain right? So instead of taking PCM ask her to take a tablet of Cyclopam (Dicyclomine and Paracetamol) twice daily for two to three days after consulting her specialist doctor. It helps in relieving both fever and pain. If the fever and pain subside in between she can stop the medicines.

Thank you.
