Is it normal to experience bleeding one week after taking an i-pill, especially after having unprotected sex again?

Asked by Female, 24 · 6 days ago

It is very common to experience spotting or bleeding about a week after taking the i-pill (levonorgestrel) due to hormonal changes; please be reassured this is a typical side effect. However, because you had unprotected sex again after taking the pill, you are not protected against pregnancy from this second encounter. Emergency contraception only works for the intercourse that occurred before taking it. I gently recommend consulting a doctor as soon as possible to discuss if you need another dose or a different option, and to explore reliable, regular birth control.
