After taking the i-pill following unprotected sex on June 9, I experienced sticky brown spotting that lasted for three days starting June 21, and then occurred again last week for two days; what does this spotting mean, and what daily birth control pills would you recommend for me?

Asked by Female, 39 · 2 days ago

The spotting you experienced is a very common side effect of the i-pill. The high dose of hormone in emergency contraception temporarily alters your cycle, which frequently causes irregular brown spotting. For reliable daily protection, daily oral contraceptive pills are excellent options, such as combined pills (containing ethinyl estradiol and a progestin) or progestin-only pills. Because you are 39, the safest generic option depends on your health history and blood pressure. I highly recommend discussing these daily options with your healthcare provider to find the safest match for you.
