Hello doctor,
I had unprotected sex with my husband 17 days back. I took I-pill within three to four hours. Two days later I again took I-pill. My last period was 23 days ago. Now, since two days I am having slight bleeding of brownish red color and cramps too. I usually have cramps during my periods. Is it implantation bleeding? Or side effect of I-pill?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Since your last period was 23 days back, no need to take I-pill at all, as you were on safe zone if your periods are regular. You took unnecessarily one more I-pill again. Please try to understand that I-pill is an emergency contraceptive pill and not a routine pill. You should take oral contraceptive (OC) pill from first day of your menses for 21 days to continue normal contraception. I-pill contains stronger hormones and taking frequently is not safe at all. Try to discuss with your gynecologist regarding your menses and safe dates. Now, you must be having an I-pill induced bleeding. Your period might get delayed due to I-pill; you can wait for your date. You can get a pregnancy test for your safety.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Are you sure that it is not implantation bleeding? Are there any chances of getting pregnant?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
If intercourse happened only 17 days back, then there is no chance of pregnancy.
