Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a regular cycle of 28 to 30 days. I got my last period last month, and I had bleeding for five days. But I had unprotected sex on the third day of my periods, and I took I-pill within 10 hours. I have not got a withdrawal bleed, and also, I have not got my periods this month. Can I be pregnant? When can I get my periods? Is there anything to worry? Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen many ladies taking I-pill post unprotected sex are unable to get withdrawal bleed. But they can have heavy bleeding in the same menses during which they had sex, or they can have prolonged bleeding during the periods when the I-pill was taken in the proper dose, timings and without vomiting. You can also do a blood pregnancy test if you feel anxious. The result would be less likely positive as the sex was not under a fertile period. You can have a menstrual induction. Take tablet Primolut 10 mg (Norethisterone) twice daily for five days and wait for bleeding for one to weeks.
