Brief Answer:
Irregular periods due to ipill

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Health Care Magic Forum.

Thanks for writing to us with your health query. I have gone through your query and it seems that the irregular bleeding is due to side effect of the I-pill. Emergency contraceptive pills can cause irregular bleeding as they cause uterine overgrowth and make the uterus unfit for implantation of the embryo.

It can be associated with abdominal pain which is most commonly cramping in nature. it is not a cause of worry as it will get over in few days. As for periods are concerned they can take few weeks to get regularised. I hope I have allayed some of your anxiety, in case of any other query feel free to discuss.

Regards Dr Manisha Jain.
