Brief Answer:
IUD is not needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The mild abdominal pain can be due to gastritis or an intestinal colic. IUD can prevent an unplanned pregnancy but it is not needed in your case. It can cause an irregular bleeding with no extra benefit. You are not pregnant. There is no need to worry so much now.
The pills that you have already taken will cause the periods to come in next 3-4 days. Just wait for the bleeding. You do not need any treatment or pills right now.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

OKay Dr. I won't take any med or pill right now. There is no bleeding right now. Though I have taken the pills on 3rd and it's today 5th. When I can expect the bleeding? I haven't taken the 3rd pill as you mentioned. The pain was only in the night and now , it's not there. Should I have something in particular in food that may help to fasten the bleeding process?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (57 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
It should start in next 2-3 days.

Detailed Answer:
The bleeding should start in next 2-3 days. Taking anything in the food will not hasten the bleeding. It is best to just wait for the bleeding to start. Your next period may be delayed by a few days after that.

What if the bleeding doesn't start in the next week? Then what would you suggest me as the next course of action?

Thanks and regards

Brief Answer:
You will have to wait for your periods then.

If there is no bleeding then you will have to wait for your next periods. You can test your urine for pregnancy after 2 weeks to be sure that you are not pregnant.

So you are suggesting that I should somewhere near 20th of September Urine test to check for pregnancy? Will it be accurate enough?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (7 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Yes.

Detailed Answer:
If you ovulated around 3rd September and the two I-pills don't work - which is extremely unlikely, then the urine test should be positive after 2 weeks of conception.
You can test after 20th to be sure.
Regards.
