Hello Simran
As you have told that there were not penetration by your partner so chances of pregnancy is less.
And as of you are asking about bleeding after taking pill is due to hormonal disturbance so nothing to worry about it. Mostly period will come on its due date or may be day earlier or later …
But if you face any other issue , I recommend you to do some following tests -
Urine pregnancy test to get 💯 sure about it .
For any other queries you can take personal consultation too .
Thank you
Hello dear See after careful evaluation it seems it is just a normal hormonal alterations There are very less chances of pregnancy since there was neither ejaculation of sperms nor any penetrations. Also,a common side effect of i pill is bleeding in small amount which is not any serious issue However still for one percent doubt ,get pregnancy strip test blood HCG for confirmation and share the result with gynecologist in person for better clarification Regards
Hello,
Pregnancy chances are none or less.
And the bleeding is only WITHDRAWAL BLEEDING , which is a side effect of IPill.
Don’t worry.
Based on what you’ve described, it seems like you engaged in genital rubbing without penetration around the 8th day of your menstrual cycle. Generally, the risk of pregnancy from non-penetrative sexual activity is low, although not impossible if ejaculation occurs near the vaginal opening. You took an emergency contraceptive pill (often called “I-pill”) on the morning of October 17th. These pills can be quite effective when taken within this timeframe, but they also often cause side effects like irregular bleeding, spotting, or changes in your next period’s timing. The bleeding you’re experiencing now is likely a side effect of the pill. It’s pretty common to have some breakthrough bleeding or spotting after taking emergency contraception, though. This type of bleeding is usually not a cause for concern and should settle down on its own. However, emergency contraceptives can also affect when your next period arrives, so it may come earlier or later than expected. At this point, you don’t need to take any additional medications for the bleeding unless it becomes extremely heavy or you’re soaking through more than a pad an hour for several hours—in which case it would be prudent to seek medical advice. Monitor your condition, and if there are signs of severe side effects or if your period is significantly delayed beyond a week, it would be wise to take a home pregnancy test or consult with a healthcare professional. Keep an eye on any additional symptoms that might indicate other underlying issues. Remember, using a regular contraceptive method can help manage similar concerns in the future.
This is most probably withdrawal bleeding. If it doesn’t progress to period like bleeding better to get a serum beta HCG done.
