Is it normal to experience menstrual irregularities, fatigue, and vomiting after taking an emergency contraceptive pill (such as the i-pill) within 12 hours of intercourse, and are these symptoms safe?
It is completely normal to experience fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and changes in your menstrual cycle after taking an emergency contraceptive pill like the i-pill (levonorgestrel). These are common, temporary side effects of the hormone boost and are generally safe. Since you took it within 12 hours, it is highly effective. However, if you vomited within 2 to 3 hours of taking the pill, its effectiveness might be reduced, and you may need a repeat dose. Your next period might be a few days early or late. If it is delayed by more than a week, please take a home pregnancy test just to be safe.
