Is taking I-pill a reason for my irregular or light periods?

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, so I took Ipill within four hours. I had very less bleeding during my period. I am suffering from pain in my lower back, in my abdomen, and also in my lower abdomen. Can you tell me what to do now in this case?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

As you have taken the I-pill and later on Progesterone for three days, so there is no chance of getting pregnant. You have to wait for seven to ten days for a period to come and do not be stressed.

I hope this helps.

Thanks and regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

It is almost a month now, and still no proper periods. Do I need to worry?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

When was your last period?

Kindly update us with the answer.

Thanks and regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

I had my period on the 15th of May. On the 25th, I had unprotected sex. On 12th June, I had very very less bleeding which continued for one to two days. After that, I did not have any periods.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

In my opinion, there is nothing to worry about. The pain in the abdomen might be due to a urine infection, for which I suggest you take a tablet of Norflox (Norfloxacin and Lactic Acid bacillus) 400 milligrams twice daily for ten days and Urispas (Flavoxate hydrochloride) 200 milligrams twice daily for five days. Drink milk, if any gastritis is there.

Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

I hope this helps.

Thanks and regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thanks for replying.

When should I expect my periods this month?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest you wait for ten more days. But if you are tensed, I suggest you go for a beta hCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) after ten days.

I hope this helps.

Thanks and regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

But are there any chances of getting pregnant? I had done a urine pregnancy test which came negative.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As you are in a dilemma, it is better to do a pregnancy test again.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thanks for replying.

Ok, I will do the test. Are there any chances of me getting pregnant?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, it is better to do the test. You can be tension free if it comes negative.

I hope this helps.

Thanks and regards.
