I had my last periods on 08 sep, then I had multiple action of intercourses(after 6 days of this date) within 24 hrs, so I took an i pill within 25 hrs. For the first time it happened that bleeding started on 19 sep.I have taken this pill earlier also but didn't happen so.Does it make sure that I am not pregnant?Is it OK?how long will it last?

Hello,
The bleeding occuring 5-6 days after taking an I PILL is a withdrawl bleeding caused by I PILL..
Occurrence of withdrawl bleeding ensures that you are not pregnant.
This bleeding lasts only for just a day or two.
Thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Emergency contraception is effective if taken within 72 hours with the effectiveness increasing the sooner it is taken.

Since you took it within 25 hours, it would likely be effective.
This pill would cover your sexual activity just prior to taking it, it will not protect against any activity done subsequently.

This form of contraception is not meant to be used as a consistent type of birth control.
It would be best to start another method to reduce the chance of unplanned pregnancy.

The other available methods are oral contraceptives, injection, intrauterine devices, patches, sterilisation procedures and condoms.
Out of the above mentioned condoms are the only ones that would also provide protection against any sexually transmitted infections.

You can consider speaking to your doctor to find a method that would work best for you.

I hope this helps

Hi,
as you had sex during non fertile period andyou took emergency contraceptiv tablet in time and again you got withdrawal bleeding on 19th so there is rare chance of having pregnancy.
Ok and take care.
