Can i take 'levonelle' morning after pill after missing a period?
Patient: I have PCOS and never had a period last month. I had sex on wednesday and i am scared there could be a chance that i am pregnant as the condom kept slipping off, my question is am i safe to take Levonelle morning after pill even when i missed a month's period? Doctor: Hi,Since you have PCOS, you may be having irregular ovulation. I hope you were not sexually active last month. If you were, then there is a small possibility of that missed period being due to pregnancy.Levonelle is safe and you should take it even if you have missed last month's period. Levonelle although can be used within 72 hours of sex, it is more effective the earlier after sex you take this medicine.If you don't get your period in two weeks time,you should do the pregnancy test. (Levonelle is 95% effective in avoiding pregnancy. There is a small possibility of method failure).I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
