What Causes Mild Diarrhoea After Taking I-pill?

Posted on Thu, 10 Sep 2015

Question: Will the morning after pill cause a period while I'm continuing to take a double-pack (2 month without period) of my contraceptive pill? Or should I stop the contraceptive pill now (almost 5 weeks since a period) and do the 7 day break now and hope my period comes along in the next few days? Also, 1 hour after taking the morning after pill I had mild diarrhoea, will this make it ineffective?

Brief Answer:
You should take break.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
If you had diarrhoea one hour after taking the pill,there are chances of ineffective I-pill.
For withdrawal bleeding you should take 7 days break.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
