Question
Dear Soctor,

My Age is 31 Yrs and I am 80 Kgs My height is 5 Ft mother of 2 daughters Normal Delievry.I am a working women.

Doctor Every Month My periods delay by 5 to 7 days but This month It has delayed by 10 days.

We are taking Precaution for birth control As we dont want 3 child. But last 15 days we dint take any precaution but After every intercourse I took an emergency Contraception I-Pill

Is there any chance of getting pregnant.

If i am not pregnant what would be the reason of delay in periods every month. Also the periods last for only 2 days before i got my periods for 5 days. My Cycle is getting disturbed delayed after by 2nd baby she is now 2 yrs old I have Just 10 days back left with her feeding on my brest milk.


Please advice.

Answer
Dear Sakina, Yes, there is chance of pregnancy. Even if you take i-pill, no birth control method is 100% safe in preventing pregnancy. Also, I don't recommend taking i-pill every time you have intercourse. This can be dangerous and not recommended. I can't tell you what would be the reason of delay in periods. You will have to consult with your doctor about this. Are you saying that you are breastfeeding still? Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more.
