Is persistent nausea experienced two days after taking an emergency contraceptive pill (such as the i-pill) a side effect of the medication, or could it be an early symptom of pregnancy?

Asked by Female, 19 · 13 days ago

It is highly likely that the nausea you are experiencing is a common side effect of the emergency contraceptive pill (such as the i-pill, which contains levonorgestrel). These pills contain a high dose of hormones that frequently cause mild stomach upset or nausea for a few days after taking them. Two days is far too early for pregnancy symptoms to appear, as those typically take at least two weeks to develop. If your nausea persists beyond a few days, or if your next period is delayed by more than a week, taking a simple home pregnancy test then will help give you peace of mind.
