Hi, bleeding after taking i-pill is due to high doses of hormones in it.This is an emergency contraceptive pill which is taken to avoid pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. High doses of hormones can cause irregular cycles and is the cause of irregular bleeding. If you are in the habit of taking i-pill quiet often then one can have irregular bleeding. This bleeding is due to withdrawal effect of high doses of hormones and also occurs when you are not pregnant. Due to i-pill your next period may be delayed by one week or may come one week earlier also.This bleeding is same as that of regular period.
