Brief answer....not necessary to get withdrawal bleeding after consuming I Pill.
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Let me assure you that there is nothing to get tensed about.
It is not necessary to get withdrawal bleeding after taking I PILL.
Many women don't get withdrawal bleeding after taking I PILL.
I PILL consumption can also either PREPONE or postpone your periods by 7-15 days.
In my opinion you should wait for your next periods.
In case they don't come in time,then you can get the urine test for pregnancy done,although the chances of pregnancy look very less.
If pregnancy test is negative ,then you can repeat it every 3-4 days after that.
If your test is negative even after testing 2-3 times in a gap of 3-4 days,it would mean absence of pregnancy.
Then let the nature regain your normal periods.
You see I PILL has heavy doses of hormones and repeated use of I PILL can mess up with your natural hormonal balance.
If you are indulging in repeated episodes of unprotected sex,then  better to get some regular form of birth control measures like birth control pills rather than resorting to I PILL every now and then.
In nut shell wait for your date of periods.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
There is absolutely nothing to worry because light brown or white discharge is very common after consuming I PILL. There is no medicine to be taken in this regard.
