Is It Normal To Have Light And Short Periods After Taking I-pill?
Hii.. I had sex with my bf on 26 thrice and on 27th i took an ipill. Now my periods were scheduled for 16-may but light bleeding happened for two days on 10 and 11 May. So i just wanted to confirm that is it normal after taking ipill or should i take a pregnancy test ???
Hi Thanks for your query. I appreciate your concern for the light and short periods after taking I-pill.
Light, unexpected vaginal bleeding is possible with the I-pill use. However, I-pill is not 100% effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy even though it is taken within 72 hours of unprotected penetrative sex.
So, you are advised to take a pregnancy test on the early morning urine sample to rule out pregnancy.
Hope this answers your query.
