Brief Answer:
It is withdrawal bleeding.need not to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns,

You need not to be worry because it is nothing but withdrawal bleeding.Withdrawal bleeding happens around 5 to 7 days after taking I-pill.

It is caused by the pill hormones withdrawing from your body

It will be there for 2 to 7 days.

There are chances that your next few cycles may be disturbed as it causes hormone imbalance.

I advise you to practice safe sex in future.

hope this helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Wait for one week.

Detailed Answer:
You need not to worry right now.

I advise you to wait at least for one week.

If you will not get your periods even after one week,you can go for home urine pregnancy test.consult with your gynecologist in this case.

Again I want to inform you that withdrawal bleeding indicates that drug has worked effectively and chances of pregnancy are very minimal.

Hope my answer helps you.

Feel free to ask any doubts.kindly close your discussion if there is no more query with your valuable feedback.

wish you a good health.
