Does Intake Of I Pill Cause Delayed Periods And White Vaginal Discharge?
I had an unprotected intercourse with my girlfriend on saturday,and she took an i pill just after the session,now she s having white discharge,feeling warm inside her stomach and little pain at times,it is the third week of jan and she has still not come over her periods,would she be pregnant?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. i pill is an emergency contraceptive pill. It would prevent unwanted or accidental pregnancy when it is taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Earlier it is taken, protection seems to be better. It would prevent pregnancy by causing withdrawal bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of intake of the pill. In case the bleeding does not happen by 3 weeks, you need to seek medical attention immediately as there could a chance of failure of the pill to prevent pregnancy. The failure rate of such emergency contraceptive pills is about 10 to 15%. Some of the symptoms you have been describing could relate to the possibility of pregnancy, when correlated with delay in getting periods. The pregnancy can be detected by means of urine pregnancy test and confirmed by clinical examination and ultrasound scan. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
