POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. If your periods are missing and you don't want to be pregnant, the steps and timing for taking pills depend on whether you've had unprotected sex and your current situation. Here's a clear breakdown:
1. If You Had Unprotected Sex Recently You can take emergency contraception (iPill or Unwanted 72): Best taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected intercourse. Sooner is better — effectiveness is highest within 24 hours. Not meant for regular use, only for emergencies. 2. If You Missed Your Period but Haven’t Had Sex Missed periods can also be due to stress, hormonal imbalance, PCOS, thyroid issues, or sudden weight changes. Take a pregnancy test to confirm. If negative, monitor for a few days and consult a gynecologist if periods don't return. 3. If You Want to Avoid Pregnancy for the Next Year You can start a regular contraceptive method, like: Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) – daily pills taken at the same time every day. Injections (e.g., Depo-Provera) – one shot every 3 months. IUD (Copper-T or hormonal) – long-term and low maintenance. Contraceptive patches or rings.
Yes, it is generally safe to use contraceptive pills for up to a year, under a doctor’s supervision. They’re reversible, so you can plan pregnancy later when ready.
