Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. i-pill is an emergency contraceptive pill indicated to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It causes withdrawal bleeding in the form of periods. Periods can happen anytime within 3 weeks from the day of taking the pill. Hence it can occur a bit early or late, but within 3 weeks. If it doesn't happen by 3 weeks, you need to seek medical attention. Once the periods occurs, pregnancy is to be ruled out. Hope the information is clear. All the best.
