Question: Hello,

My wife took I-pill within 3 hours,

She had unexpected menstrual cycle 2 weeks before the normal cycle which lasted for 3 days

Now she's experiencing little bleeding like 1 time in a week and twice in the following week

Please tell us why this happens and how long is it going to last and what should be done

Also will her next cycle be according to the one she had after i-pill?

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

I pill is known to cause irregular cycles and also early bleeding. It will take another two period cycles for this to normalise. Do not worry about it. It is because of the hormone content in the ipill which causes this.

The next cycle might be a little delayed than usual. Usually a week more than the usual cycle

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
