Hi doctor, I got my last period in the mid of the last month. I had sex on the last day of the month, and the next day I took an I-pill. After three days, I have got a dark brown discharge sometimes it is pale yellow. I have it for the past four days. I am having a pain in my stomach like periods. My period is expected to be in the mid of the month, and my average length is 31 days. I am not pregnant because he did not discharge inside me. Is I-pill safe? When should I expect my periods?
Hi. I-Pill is a high dose of Progesterone hormone. It is the same hormone which is produced in the body in the second half of the period after ovulation. This pill will suddenly increase the thickness of the inner lining of the uterus, making it unfavorable for a possible pregnancy to implant. As it is a single dose, it has no strength to stand on, so it falls off, and you will get periods or bleeding of increased thickness within seven to ten days of taking the I-pill. This bleeding will be thick, fleshy pieces, dark red or brown, with slight lower abdominal pain until there is a reduction in bleeding. You have taken I-pill very close to the date of ovulation. As he did not ejaculate inside you, the chances of pregnancy are low. But the I-pill will disturb your hormonal balance, which causes the thick white discharge, and this thickness is coming out, which cause the pain. I-pill is very effective. Just wait and within a few days, you will have the periods. So periods may be mostly at the expected date. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
