Took Ipill After Unprotected Sex. Started Bleeding With Abdominal Pain And Vomiting. Am I Pregnant?
Question: i had unprotected sex 30 days ago and i took two i-pills on consecutive days. now after 30 days i have not got my periods and also i have abdominal pain and i vomited. does this means i am pregnant ? please help me
my periods are delayed by two weeks and 4 days
my periods are delayed by two weeks and 4 days
Hello,
Thank you for posting a query here.
Look, you have told that you have taken two i-pills on consecutive days. But here the time period between intercourse and taking i-pill is important. If it is more than 48 hours, then there is mildly higher chances of pregnancy.
If you have taken the i-pill within 24 hours, then there is very low chance of pregnancy. Because, the drug is very much effective.
Your present conditions indicate possibility of pregnancy. Because in case of side effect due to the ipill ( which is most common), the period may get delayed with spotting. But in that case, these symptoms are generally absent.
So, you have to do a home pregnancy test using your urine. If this test is negative, then this delay in period is due to the side effect of i-pill. In that case, you have to wait for few more days. If you do not have your period within 7 more days, you have to do an ultrasound scan of whole abdomen and after that consult with a gynecologist with the report for further management. Generally, in these conditions, a progesterone challenge is enough.
In case of a positive pregnancy test, the decision is yours.
Hope this information suffices. Let me know, if you have any more question.
Regards.

yes sir, we had first intercourse and took i-pill well within 24hours and again after one day after another intercourse we took i-pill within 24hours. i got nothing different but after two weeks after taking i-pill i vomited and started abdominal pain. though i consulted a doc and he said vomit might b because of gastro. never had vomiting sensation after that but abdominal pain still continues in small scale. what would u comment my this situation.
Hello,
Thank you for writing back.
Look, i have already told you that this delay may be due to the side effect of i-pills. But for confirmation, you have to do the home pregnancy test.
It is impossible to comment on your pregnancy status just from clinical examination or history. The test will tell you that.
According to the test result, you have to follow my previous instructions.
Look, this is a protocol. We cannot give you any drug without confirming your pregnancy status. The treatment is different depending upon the test result. I think you can understand that.
So, do the test at home. Then follow my instructions.
Hope you have your answers.
Regards.

Hello,
Thank you for writing back.
Look, you can ask me a follow up question with the report.
Spotting is not the excessive vaginal discharge. Spotting means mild bleeding which is only noticeable in your undergarments.
Hope you have your answers.
