This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex recently and I took an I-pill right after it. Later I got my period eight days early. I had been bleeding for eight days. Now my period is due this month. I did a pregnancy test and it was negative. What should I do now? When will my period come? I took Deviry 10 mg for five days twice a day. Today I got light blood spots. Are those periods? Is everything normal? When will I get a regular flow like before? I am also getting cramps. Please help.
