What Could Be The Reason For Bleeding After Ipill ?
Hi, i had unprotected sex on 29th dec. Though my boyfriend did not ejaculate inside me I took an ipill within 24 hrs for safety. I am having vaginal bleeding after 4 days of taking the ipill. The bleeding is light but has been happening continuously for 3 days. I am worried. Is this normal? I am expecting my periods on the 22nd Jan. for how many days does this irregular bleeding/spotting happen? does it mean im pregnant?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It is normal to have slight irregular bleeding 3-5 days after taking an emergency contraceptive. This bleeding happens due to the hormonal disbalance caused by the high dose of emergency pill. There is nothing to worry. It might delay your normal periods by 7-10 days.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal
