Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.

I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

You have took i-pill within time so the chances of pregnancy are not there in your case( most likely) but not 100%.

There is no such sign and symptoms which showed it is effective or not.

You have to wait and watch for your menses.

Withdrawal bleeding within 7 days.

Hello dear,

Withdrawal bleeding may occur within 7 days after taking i-pill.
Menses will occur on time or delayed by 7-10 days.
I-pill usually work by suppressing ovulation,delay implantation.
If you are pregnant you can test as early as blood test 15 days after sex .
Urine test can be done 7 days after your missed period date.
So you have to wait and watch for your menses.

Brief Answer:
Your chances of getting pregnant are very low.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Sorry for such a long delay in my response.

The withdrawal bleeding does not occur in all the cases,it is only a side effect of I-pill.
If withdrawal bleeding occur it does not related to pregnancy.
If withdrawal bleeding occur it may last for 2-3 days.
The chances of pregnancy in your case is almost nil.
Period may get delayed for 7-10 days.
Withdrawal bleeding or shedding of endometrium may occur in your cases after 7 days of taking i-pill.

Good luck.
