  1. Timing and Effectiveness:

    • The I pill is most effective when taken within 12 hours of unprotected sex, but can work up to 72 hours.
  2. Menstrual Changes:

    • Your period may be earlier or later. A delay of more than a week suggests taking a pregnancy test.
  3. Symptoms to Watch:

    • Side effects like nausea or spotting are normal and don’t indicate failure.
  4. Pregnancy Test:

    • If your period is over a week late, take a pregnancy test for confirmation.
  5. Consult a Healthcare Provider:

    • If concerned or experiencing unusual symptoms, consult a doctor for advice.

Note: The I pill is a backup method, not for regular use. Consider discussing regular contraceptive options with your healthcare provider.

It's been a couple of days since the doctor inserted a tablet into my vagina, and I'm wondering when I should expect the bleeding to start. Are the retained products likely to come out with my first menstrual cycle? I'm really hoping to pass these retained products naturally. They measured 9cc. Any advice you could give would be great.

I recently had a c-section on the 11th of May, and I'm wondering if it's okay to wear a post-delivery belt around my abdomen while I sleep. Is it safe, or should I avoid it for now?

After a C-section, it's generally recommended to wait for at least 6-8 weeks before wearing a post-delivery belt, and even then, it's best to consult your doctor, but if you must wear one while sleeping, ensure it's not too tight, as this can put pressure on your abdomen and potentially disrupt the healing process.
