Have a query?

Could my girlfriend be pregnant if she took the I pill, had a heavy five-day period ten days later with no sexual activity since, but now has a late and very light period this month?

Asked by Male, 26 · 3 days ago

It is highly unlikely that your girlfriend is pregnant. The heavy five-day bleeding she experienced ten days after taking the I-pill (levonorgestrel) was likely a withdrawal bleed, indicating the pill worked. Because you have had no sexual activity since then, there is no new risk of pregnancy. Emergency contraception contains hormones that frequently disrupt menstrual cycles, which easily explains why her period is late and lighter this month. To ease your minds, she can take a home pregnancy test, which will be highly accurate by now.
