Have a query?

If my wife took the i-pill on day 25 of her regular 30-to-31-day cycle and then got her usual heavy, five-day bleeding three days early, was that bleeding her actual period?

Asked by Female, 28 · 2 days ago

Yes, this was almost certainly her actual period. The i-pill (a levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive) works by temporarily altering hormone levels, which can commonly cause her period to arrive a few days earlier or later than expected. Since her bleeding matched her typical flow and duration, it is a very strong sign that the medication was effective and her cycle is resetting. For complete peace of mind, she can take a home pregnancy test in a week, but you can both rest assured that this bleeding is a highly positive indicator.
