Can I still be pregnant if I took the i-pill within an hour of a potential exposure to semen, and have since experienced light spotting, a heavier bleed, and breast pain?

Asked by Female, 25 · 6 days ago

Taking the i-pill (levonorgestrel) within an hour of exposure is extremely effective. The light spotting, heavier bleeding, and breast pain you are experiencing are very common side effects of this emergency contraceptive, as it temporarily alters your hormone levels. This bleeding is often a reassuring sign that the medication has worked. To give yourself complete peace of mind, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test 21 days after the exposure. You handled this situation very quickly, and these symptoms should resolve soon.
