Continuous bleeding after a positive pregnancy test is not normal and requires prompt medical attention. The i-pill (emergency contraception) is not designed to terminate an established pregnancy, and ongoing bleeding could be a sign of a complication, such as a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. Please have your wife consult a gynecologist as soon as possible for an ultrasound and proper evaluation to ensure her safety and well-being.

The emergency contraceptive pill (iPill) is intended for occasional use. It should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, preferably within 24 hours and up to 72 hours. Since you already took an iPill on 5th May, taking another dose again on 6th May is generally not recommended unless specifically advised by a doctor, as repeated use within a short duration may increase the chances of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, irregular bleeding, or changes in the menstrual cycle. Emergency contraception should not be considered a regular method of birth control. For appropriate guidance and reliable contraceptive options, it is advisable to consult a gynaecologist who can assess your situation and recommend a safer long-term contraceptive plan suited to your needs.

Emergency contraception can indeed delay your period by 12 days or more, especially with a history of hormonal irregularities. These medications temporarily disrupt your hormone cycle to prevent ovulation. Since your home pregnancy test is negative at this stage, it is highly likely you are not pregnant. For peace of mind, the best next step is to repeat a home urine test in a few days using your first morning urine. Alternatively, you can visit your doctor for a simple blood pregnancy test, which is highly accurate, and to help get your cycle back on track.

Because this emergency contraceptive delivers a temporary dose of hormones to delay ovulation, it frequently alters your regular menstrual cycle for that month. This is not a sign of a serious medical problem. However, to give you complete peace of mind, I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your period is more than a week late, or about three weeks after taking the pill.

Taking a levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pill within three hours of unprotected intercourse is highly effective, preventing about 95% of expected pregnancies. You can take it with or without food; eating beforehand will not reduce its absorption or effectiveness, and it might actually help prevent nausea. To definitively confirm it worked, the most reliable method is taking a home pregnancy test 21 days after the intercourse, or if your next period is more than a week late.

Yes, you can take a blood beta hCG pregnancy test now. Since you took the i-pill (an emergency contraceptive) 10 days ago, a blood test is highly sensitive and can detect pregnancy hormones at this stage, even before your period is due. Please keep in mind that the emergency contraceptive can sometimes alter or delay your menstrual cycle. If the test is negative but your period is delayed by more than a week, it is best to repeat a home pregnancy test or consult your doctor.
