Brief Answer:
Withdrawal bleeding. Effect of I-pill.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your history in detail.
1) Your current vaginal bleeding (similar to period) is due to withdrawal effect of the I-pill. It is quite common phenomena following taking the emergency pill and bleeding starts within 3-5 days. Don't be panic or tensed as it stops automatically.
2) You involved in unprotected sex around the FERTILE period (if your cycle is regular and 28-30 days). However, you took I-Pill after 1 hr and your chance of pregnancy quite LOW because it is more than 99% effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy.
3) Your next period date may be delayed or earlier due to hormonal imbalance associated with I-Pill effect. Do home pregnancy test if period delays more than one week.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health and always practice safe sex in future.
