Brief Answer:
Bleeding is due to I-pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

This bleeding is a side effect of I-pill called withdrawal bleeding, usually occurs 2-4 days after taking I-pill. It is normal.

As such I-pill is a safe medication to prevent unwanted pregnancy, but as you stated yourself that you had I-pill very frequently, kindly do not take it so frequently otherwise you are having problem with your menstrual cycle (irregular period problem).

As you had I-pill in 48hrs of unprotected sex, it is effective in preventing pregnancy in your example.

Wait and watch for your next menstruation.

Please use some regular method of contraception in the hereafter to prevent pregnancy.


Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to assist you.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
