General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
After going through the description, what she has experienced is right after taking i pill. It is not that i pill has affected her periods not fingering has caused it.
i pill is an emergency contraceptive pill, which needs to be taken within 48 hours of unprotected intercourse. It prevents pregnancy by causing withdrawal bleeding in the form of periods. Bleeding can happen anytime within 3 weeks from the day the pill has taken. When it happens, it is sure that pregnancy has not occurred.
By this, naturally her periods would shift early or late. From next periods onward, it should happen regularly in the form of 28 days cycle.
Hope the information provided is clear.
All the best.
