Hi doctor,
I am a 20-year-old female, height 5.4 feet, and weight 143 lbs. I had two I-pills in one month. After the first I-pill, I got withdrawal bleeding after five days. It lasted for four days and the flow was normal. After 14 days of this incident, I again had protected sexual intercourse and took another I-pill after 36 hours. But this time even after 11 days, there is no withdrawal bleeding. Is this because of hormonal imbalance or pregnancy?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As you have taken an emergency pill within 72 hours of intercourse there is no chance of pregnancy. This could be because of hormonal changes due to the pill you have taken. So relax and do not worry. But please do not use the pill so frequently, as it is a hormonal pill and can cause hormonal changes in the body. Take care.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
When should I expect my menses? If the withdrawal bleeding that I got is supposed to be considered as my last period, I should have gotten my periods today but I have not. I have abdominal cramps, upset stomach for four days and frequent urination since yesterday. I am really worried because of the delay. Should I do a urine pregnancy test? Also, is the delay because of two i-pills in a month or stress or pregnancy? Since I guess it was ovulation time when I took my second i-pill after 36 hours though we used condoms. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
As you have a doubt, please get a urine pregnancy test done with early morning urine sample to ensure that you are not pregnant. The delay could be because of hormonal changes due to the pill you have taken. There is no chance of pregnancy. Do get back to me with reports so that I can guide you further. Take care.
