Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
I'm Dr. Shuba Hariprasad and will be answering your query today.
Would you clarify a few things for me, please?
* when was your last period (please mention starting date)?
*do you have regular menstrual cycles? How long are you cycles? (30 days, for instance)
*when is your next period due?
*when did you have intercourse? (please mention exact dates)
* when did you take the i-pill?
(Please mention exact dates)
*do you take any other medications?
*the bleeding that you had - was it dark red/blackish or bright red /pinkish?
The i-pill is a hormonal tablet and can cause menstrual irregularities, gastric disturbance as a side effect. Your symptoms suggest this.
I recommend :
-that you wait until a week after your period is due and then take a pregnancy test of period has not arrived.
-if negative, repeat test in another week. If still negative and no period, you will need to see your OBGYN to check for possible causes like ovarian cysts and other hormonal imbalances.
-please use regular contraception to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
Please get back to me with above requested clarifications so that I may advise you more appropriately.
I'd be happy to help if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Shuba Hariprasad
