Hello doctor, I wonder if you could help. A month back I had some intimate contact with a new partner. We did not have intercourse and he did not ejaculate but I was concerned about some pre-ejaculate getting near my vagina. I was on day three of my period. My cycle is normally 25 to 26 days long. I have a copper IUD. However, this is due to expire in two months. Because of this, I wanted to double up on protection. The morning after pill is not available where I live. Therefore I took four Jasmin combined pills 48 hours after the incident and then another four 12 hours later. Four days later I had five days of bleeding that mimicked my natural period exactly. My question now is two-fold, should my copper IUD have protected me anyway even though it is due to expire? And when should I expect a natural period again to confirm I am not pregnant following the withdrawal bleeding that I have had?
Hello. I have gone through your history and understand your concern. As you took the pill on time, there is no chance of pregnancy in your case. Delayed menses and menstrual irregularities due to hormonal imbalance caused by I-pill. Get your home urine test if you missed your period by seven days. Your period is little unpredictable.  Yes, copper-T is little effective in your case but not able to protect from pregnancy, so double protection is better. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
