My partner and I we are actively involved, and we don t use protection always, but he always pulls out. This morning I experienced some spotting, few drops, everytime visited the washroom, please help.

Hallow Dear,

Ipill is an emergency or post coital contraceptive pill. It contains Levonorgestrel in high dosage as an active ingredient. Therefore, about a couple of days after the consumption, this pill does lead to some amount of withdrawal bleeding. You need not be worried about it. The spotting will stop within a couple of days.

Moreover, these pills also may delay the menses by few days to a week due to high dosage of Levonorgestrel. You need not get stressed out if your menses do not appear in time.

I hope this helps you to take away your stress.
