What Causes Inter Menstrual Bleeding After Taking Emergency Contraceptive?
Me and my boyfriend had sex four days after my period and he did not do the withdrawal so I decided to take oral contraceptive. Then after just one week I had another period which is so advance than the usual date of period that I have. Is it dangerous for my health and is it necessary for me to take oral contraceptive if I had sex within a week after my last period?

Hi,
Since the caption of your query mentions about emergency contraceptive pill, though not in the body of the query, I am presuming that you had consumed post coital emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of the unprotected sex. If so, you are protected from the pregnancy due to this act. Post coital emergency contraceptive pills are quite reliable for contraception. These pills have some after effects:
1. Few days after the consumption of these pills, some bleeding occurs. This does not require any medical attention as it is normal. You are experiencing this type of bleeding. It is not an issue of concern.
2. The following periods may get delayed by few days up to a week or so. If so happens, please have no stress.
I hope this resolves your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
