Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Following a condom accident during intercourse, I took the precaution of ordering the contraceptive tablet I-pill (1 mg) to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Could you please provide information about the potential side effects associated with this particular pill? Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
Withdrawal bleeding is a common side effect of contraceptive pills like I pills. It occurs because of the abrupt withdrawal of hormones from your body. However, not everyone will experience this side effect. In your case, you might be encountering menstrual irregularities likely caused by the hormonal imbalance triggered by the contraceptive pill. This can lead to unpredictable menstrual cycles. You could get your next period on schedule, or there might be a delay of around seven to 10 days. Given that you took the I-pill within 24 hours, the likelihood of pregnancy in your situation is extremely low.
I hope this information helps you. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
Thank you.
