I am 25 years old and have had sex with my bf last week after which I took I pill. Today I saw that I got bleeding and its paining down there. I am having a bit of headache and body pain specially legs and back. Is it withdrawal bleeding or implantation bleeding as the bleeding lasted just for few seconds?

There is no fixed time in which one bleeds after taking ipill. Sometimes unexpected bleeding occurs more over it is not necessary. Next menstrual cycle can be early or delayed as side effects of the pill. As she has taken within 24 hrs it is 95% effective.

Hello- Although not a common side effect, the hormones in the pills (either progestin alone or progestin combined with estrogen) can cause some women to bleed at unexpected times. If that is the cause of your bleeding, it is not dangerous and you should expect it to go away by itself after you get your next period.
