Pain and bleeding due to Ipill

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear XXXX

You are unlikely to be pregnant for the following reasons

1. You had unprotected sex on 16th Oct that is 6th day of cycle, it is safe period in cycle as ovulation does not occur at that time

2. IPill is quite effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, which you have taken. So it is another added reason to say that chances of pregnancy are unlikely

The cause of spotting is likely to be due to IPill. It is hormonal pill and causes withdrawal bleeding and cramp like pain. Taking analgesic/antispamodic will provide much needed relief.

Now i think its not spotting but proper periods. So it has been preponed by 4 /5 days. Hope it is nothing unusual. And chance of pregnancy is completely ruled out. Also,will my cycle b still 26 days or i need to keep a watch for the next two periods
