Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Consuming I-pill Within 10 Hours Of Having Sex?

I had my periods from 5th april- 10th april. My cycle is generally of 30 days. I and my boyfriend had unprotected sex on 13th april. I consumed ipill (emergency contraceptive pill) within 10hours. I am experiencing bleeding today (23rd april). Is this a preponed period? The normal period symptoms like abdominal pain is missing. Hence I am very worried about whether this has anything to do with pregnancy! Please help. I am really worried.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

Brief Answer :
You Are not pregnant. Dont Worry.

Detailed Answer :
As a physician I would like to tell you that you had sex on 8th day of your menstrual cycle, way before Ovulation occurs as well as you took iPill immediately after that withing 72 hours. So you are 100% not pregnant.

The drugs present in iPills causes tremendous menstrual changes to your body leading to this breakthrough bleeding like you are having in between periods. I would also like to tell you that you should use Oral contraceptive pills as regular method of contraception and iPills should be used as emergency only.

Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
