Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
i pill is an emergency contraceptive pill and it should be taken preferably within 24 hours and before 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. What your partner has done seems to right.
Following taking i pill, breakthrough bleeding in the form of periods should happen within 3 weeks from the day of intake of the pill. If this doesn't happen, she should seek medical attention immediately.
From next cycle onwards, it should be normal as it used to be earlier.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
