Hallow Dear,

Please relax.

I-pill is an emergency birth control pill which contains Levenorgestrel . Levenorgestrel is a progestational medicine, hence it is known to cause some bleeding few days after its consumption. This is a withdrawal bleeding to the medicine. You need not be worried about this bleeding. It will be over in a day or two.

Moreover her expected menses may be delayed by few days due to I-pill. Not an issue of concern.

To avoid such stressful situations in future, please adopt reliable contraceptive methods like condom, birth control pills or intrauterine device in future.

Hope this helps you.
