What Causes Minor Abdominal Pain And Bleeding After Taking The I-pill?
Hello! I have a query regarding effects of i pill. I had my normal periods from 12-16th april (5days). On 17th april unintentionally i had unprotected sex. He did not ejaculate inside and had penetrated inside only for a minute or so. But for safety reasons i took an ipill within 3 hours of this. Now on 28th april morning i have minor abdominal pain and bleeding. What does this mean? Are there any chances that i am pregnant? Why has the bleeding occurred whenmy periods are expected not sooner than 20may? Please help what should i do about it? Do i need to do a test? Thanking u in anticipation
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. I have gone through it and would like to offer some suggestions. Abdominal pain is a side effect of the emergency contraceptive pill, but, seen soon after use and not so much later. The most likely cause for the abdominal pain you have experienced is due to the hormone effect as withdrawal bleeding has ensued. Your chances of pregnancy are very minimal because you had the intercourse during the safe period and in addition, you consumed the emergency contraceptive pill. Bleeding is due to the withdrawal effect caused by the high hormone content in the pill. See a specialist for further help if you become overdue for your next natural period by ten days. You may need a test then. Hope this helps.
