Hello doctor, I had unprotected sex on the 11th and the guy did not ejaculate. I was worried since it was the 20th day of my menstrual cycle and I have an average of a 32-day cycle. So, I took an I-pill within seven hours. My last period was on the 23rd of last month and the next period is due on the 24th of this month. I track my period using an app and it said that I have medium chances of pregnancy. It has been 10 days since I have taken the I-pill. I am worried that there is no bleeding yet. I took a pregnancy test and it came negative. Can you explain why my bleeding may not have started yet?
Hello. Ideally, the withdrawal bleeding following an I-pill should start in the next five to seven days but it can be delayed often due to increased stress on one hand and the other reason is I-pill failure and pregnancy. So, the best would be to get a serum beta hCG test done now. If the hCG levels are less than 5 mIU then you are surely not pregnant and can wait safely for a few more days to allow your withdrawal bleed to start. Regards.
