Hi doctor,

I took an I-pill on the 27th hour of unprotected sex. I am having severe abdominal pain since I took the pill. I am experiencing a little shortness of breathing. Now, I am on my periods, but it was four days late. It has been 10 days since I have taken I-pill. I am having unendurable pain and bleeding. I tried pregnancy detection kit and it showed negative. What should I do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The fact that the menses have started after 10 days of I-pill intake ensures that there is no pregnancy. The pain and heavy bleeding are secondary to the progesterone effect of the high dose progesterone pill like I-pill.It is suggested that you should take tablet Trapic-MF (Tranexamic acid) twice a day for next three days. This should take care of pain and bleeding. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. You may increase your water intake and use hot fomentation locally to reduce pain as well.
