What Causes Vaginal Bleeding After Taking I-pill?
I had my periods on 22nd of Dec and they got over on 27th of Dec. I had unprotected sex on 3rd of Jan and took an i-pill within two hours of it. Since 9th of Dec I am experiencing vaginal bleeding. Is this a side effect of i-pill? The bleeding is heavy and I can say for sure that it is not spotting. Today I am experiencing lot of fatigue and weakness and am very worrisome. Is there any medication to stop the bleeding or will it stop on its own and if yes then how soon? Please help.

Hi,
Side effect of I-pill. Abnormal / irregular bleeding is an important side of post-coital contraceptives like I-pill. You need to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation which may also involve treatment of anemia and drugs like tranexamic acid to control the bleeding.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
