Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for seeking our suggestions regarding vaginal bleeding and cramping after taking i-pill.

The i-pill is one of the first over-the-counter emergency contraceptives. It contains levonorgestrel 1.5 mg, a synthetic form of progestogen. It prevents pregnancy in two ways. It may stop an egg being released from the ovary, or if an egg has been released, i-pill may prevent the sperm from fertilizing it.

The dark colored vaginal bleeding and cramping might be attributed to taking the i-pill. But, I am not familiar with this pill and its side effects, so I think it best you consult your gynecologist.

Regards,
Maryann
