What are the symptoms of potential pregnancy?
Patient: HiToday is the 8th day after taking 2 ipills together. I hav experienced spotting today only for few hour, the blood is abit darker than usual period. I have also being feelin dizzy past 2 days. Could you please tell me if i am pregnant or is this implantation bleeding or is the side effect of ipill. Please reply as early as you can Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the spotting might be sideeffect of ipill.The ipill is 95% effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.If you had taken within stipulated time the chances of pregnancy are less.The ipill causes hormonal imbalance leading to irregular bleeding spotting and the period might come early or late.So the spotting might be mostly the ipill sideeffect.The implantation bleeding usually presents as spotting around the date of expected period.The first sign of pregnancy is missed period.And all the symptoms of pregnancy like nausea,vomitings,increased urination,sore breasts start 2 weeks after missed period.Dont worry.Avoid stress.Wait and check for the period.As you have taken 2 ipills there is chance of more hormonal imbalance as compared to single ipill.So there might be more chances for irregularity in periods.Overall the chances of pregnancy are rare.I suggest you to restrict ipill for real emergency situations and not to use frequently to avoid complications.Hope this helps.Best regards...Dr .Srilatha
