Is the pain she is experiencing after taking the i-pill yesterday a temporary side effect, or does she need to take medication or see a doctor?
It is very common to experience mild abdominal pain or cramping after taking the i-pill. This is typically a temporary side effect of the hormone levonorgestrel as it works in your body, and it usually resolves on its own within a day or two. You can try resting or using a warm compress to help ease the discomfort. However, if your pain becomes severe, persistent, or is accompanied by heavy vaginal bleeding, fever, or dizziness, please consult a doctor to ensure everything is okay. Rest assured, mild cramping is a normal response, but do listen to your body.
