I got my periods for the second time in ten days. Is it due to I-pill?

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I got my periods today for the second time in ten days. The last time I got it, there was less flow comparatively. I had unprotected sex and had an I-pill immediately. Can you please tell me if there is anything harmful?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed your query and can understand how worried you are about your health. I want to add that it seems to be due to hormonal imbalance caused by the contraceptive pill. Emotional distress also adds up to the situation. As of this time, it seems nothing wrong. You just keep up with daily routine and do not bother much about this issue. When we take pills that contain hormones, it interferes with the natural body hormones. This may sometimes cause breakthrough bleeding too.

Hope it helps. Kindly be advised, if you do not want a pregnancy, use barrier contraception. It saves from STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) too.
