Is It Normal To Have Vaginal Bleeding Post Levonelle Intake?

default
Posted on Mon, 7 Sep 2015
Question: Hi. I've been given the emergency contraception Levonelle to take about 65 hours after unprotected sex. Within about 30 mins of taking it I've had a sudden bleed and pretty bad menstural cramping, not completely unbearable but painkillers are not helping at al. Is this all normal or should I be worried? Thanks

Period expected on around 2 weeks. I have about 6 weekly periods. No injury during sex. And I took one of these pills about 10 weeks ago

Brief Answer:
It might be due to hormonal imbalance

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,thanks for the information.I understand your concern.
In my opinion the bleeding might be due to hormonal imbalance.
The bleeding if continues it suggests your period.
But if stopped it might be some hormonal imbalance and there might be chance of irregular bleeding again due to emergency contraception effect.
If this is the period then there can be no chance of pregnancy.
So wait and check how the bleeding takes its course.
The sudden bleeding can also be due the emergency contraceptive taken 10 weeks ago.
Take antispasmodic like Tab.Meftal spas for pain.
Take rest and avoid physical strain.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
