Hello doctor,
I recently had my period and took contraceptives afterward due to a specific situation. Subsequently, I experienced bleeding, which occurred earlier than my usual period. The bleeding lasted for a couple of days and has subsided now. I am uncertain about when my next period will arrive and whether it will follow my regular cycle. Additionally, I am concerned about the possibility of pregnancy despite the bleeding after taking contraceptives. Can you provide information on when I can expect my next period and whether there is a risk of pregnancy?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The chances of pregnancy are very low and the appearance of bleeding after taking contraceptives indicates that the drug has worked. This bleeding should be considered as your menstrual period and the new date of menstruation. You may get your next period within one month from this month.
I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any further queries.
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
Is it less likely that I should be concerned about pregnancy in my situation? My period occurred before the incident, and I experienced bleeding after taking the emergency contraceptive pill. Does this suggest a low risk of pregnancy?
Thank you.

Thank you.
