Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hey, um I had sex with my husband on 3rd nov then 8th nov and then 10th november. I took an ipill after all the three times each. my periods due date was 17th november. but I got a light bleeding on the 18th november which lasted only till 19th november. Is this early pregnancy spotting? or it is only because of the ipill and im not pregnant?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. You have done the right thing by taking i pill after having intercourse on every occasion. You are experiencing certain side effects of the medication like spotting as you have taken it frequently. i pill is an emergency contraceptive pill and it would prevent pregnancy by causing withdrawal bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of its intake. In case you do not get bleeding by 3 weeks from the day of taking i pill on the last occasion, you need to take urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
