Brief Answer:
Withdrawal bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I-pill gives more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy if taken within first 24 of sex. Here, chance of pregnancy is quite LOW.

You have gotten withdrawal bleeding due to effect of I-Pill. It is quite NORMAL and physiological phenomena. Most women get this type of bleeding. It will stop automatically within 3-4 days without further treatment.

I suggest you to await for next coming period and if it delays more than 1 week, you should undergo one home pregnancy test to clear doubt.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and practice safe sex in future.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
