I bled after I-pill, but missed period on due date. Am I pregnant?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My periods got ended on the 12th of last month and I had protected sex on 15th. As I noticed some semen on me, I took an I-pill on the same day. Then, I got periods after 8 days of I-pill, which lasted for five days as usual. But, the period was not like the way I usually get. There was no heavy flow or continuous flow of blood. The color of the blood was brown. My actual due date is 7th of this month and I missed it now. I am worried whether I am pregnant. Please help me with this issue.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. First of all relax. You are not pregnant. Your periods came early because of I-pill medicine (emergency contraceptive pill).
It's important to note that the I-pill can lead to variations in your menstrual cycle – sometimes causing periods to come early, and in other cases, causing delays. However, I'd like to caution you against using the I-pill as a regular contraceptive method, as it is a potent medication with potential side effects.
In your situation, it's worth mentioning that you didn't necessarily need to take the I-pill. Since your period concluded on the 12th and you engaged in intercourse on the 15th, the likelihood of pregnancy during the first 10 days of your menstrual cycle is very low.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
