Heavy Bleeding After Ipill, Pain During Periods. Is This Early Menstruation Or Pregnancy?
Question: Hi,
There is heavy bleeding like Mensuration(MC) after 6day of taking iPill.
Here is the details
Last period started- 4th April
Ended on - 9th April
Period cycle- 26 days
Always gets severe pain during period.
We have had intercourse on 13th April but never finished inside and also used condom other times. For extra precaution, she tool i-pill within 1 hour.
on 19th April, she got vaginal bleeding with high pain, I thought it should be side effect of i-pill. Today is the third day and there is still some pain and bleeding. Some time pain increased. Bleeding is just like normal period bleeding. But this is approx 2 week earlier.
Our concern is:
1- Is it early mensuration or just only side effect?
2- Will next mensuration will come again and on time?
3- Is there any chance of pregnancy ?( she can't take any such test)
4- Any meditation if pain & bleeding continues?
Please answer all these 4 question and give your suggestion.
Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for consulting us. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. I appreciate you provided a very good history, making everything clear.
This type of bleeding is perfectly normal and expected within 5-7 days of taking i-pill. This bleeding represents "the effect" rather than the side effect.
Her usual period may come on time or somewhat delayed as after taking the pill (it contains hormones) the period/cycle may undergo readjustment. So, if you are sure there is no chance of pregnancy she should be tension free.
Bleeding will subside in few days (5-7 days) hopefully. If not she should visit a gynecologist in person for assessment.
She may take her regular pain killers if required. But if the pain is more than usual she needs to see a gynecologist for further management.
I suggest she should be using a regular and reliable method of contraception if she wants to avoid similar anxieties in future.
I think sever pain during all periods also need evaluation if this is disturbing her life. This can be investigated and dealt properly only under supervision of a gynecologist who may perform some test on her for definitive diagnosis and proper management.
I hope my answer will be acceptable to you. If you have any further query please don't hesitate to contact me.
Regards

Hi,
You have written above that - "So, if you are sure there is no chance of pregnancy she should be tension free."
I have confusion here. We have no sex after taking ipills. so, how can I be sure of pregnancy. When ipill have shown its effect ( bleeding etc), then I assume that there should not be any chance of pregnancy.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome back. I will try to clarify my answer further.
I mean to say, this bleeding actually represents an early period artificially induced by the ipill and is an expected response after this pill.
If you have not had any unprotected sex after the ipill and the current bleeding, then it is like beginning of a new cycle for her after she finishes this bleeding.
You wrote she can't take any test and you were using condoms; pull out method & ipill for protection. I therefore, tried to reassure you that at present there is no need for a pregnancy test and she does not have to worry about that.
But I added further, if the bleeding continues she may need to consult a gynecologist for evaluation.
I hope I am clear this time. Please write back if you need any other clarification.
