Should I Take Loestrin While I'm Bleeding?
Hi,
I had unprotected sex and took levonelle it less than 12 hours later. 5 days later i have light bleeding. Is this a good sign? My next period isnt due for 2 weeks or so.
Ive been prescribed loestrin 20 should i start taking it with this bleeding or wait?

Hello,
Some amount of bleeding is quite common after taking emergency contraceptive pills like plan B or i-pill. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by it own. No need to worry about getting pregnant as Levonelle is a safe and effective contraceptive pill. You can take Loestrin now, no need to wait till bleeding settles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
