Hello doctor,
I took a morning after pill about eight hours after my fiance's condom broke. It has been a week and I started bleeding today. It was a heavy flow at first (blood-red) but it stopped after 24 hours (became light pink towards the end). I just want to know, am I pregnant or is there a possibility that I am?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have taken I-pill (an emergency contraceptive pill that is hormonal medicine) that interferes with the normal menstrual cycle and prevents conception by preventing ovulation, fertilization, and implantation. In return, within one to two weeks, there should be a withdrawal bleed that you have got. So it is normal. There are least chances of pregnancy. Next cycle could be irregular but as the body gets rid of the effect of medication, cycles will get back to normal.
Take care.
