Hello XXXXXXX
All your symptoms mostly due to i pill which contains high amount of hormones.
it can cause irregular periods like can cause withdrawal bleeding before your due date or can be delayed). It can also causes bloating, cramps.
I would like to know few more details
When you had intercourse (Which day of menstrual cycle) and when did you take i pill?
How was the bleeding yesterday means heavy or light?
Since your period started on 18 th, so mostly there is very very less chance of pregnancy.

Hello XXXXXXX
I suggest you wait for 5 more days to start bleeding.
Since you had I pill within 24 hours, it will prevent 98% chances of pregnancy (Not 100%).
All your symptoms seem like side effect of I pill.
Just wait and watch. If you have continuous bleeding for 3-5 days then need not to worry.
If bleeding is not continuous then get urine pregnancy test after 5 days of due date to relieve your anxiety. If it will be negative then need not to worry since I pill can cause irregular periods.
I hope bleeding will be increased in next 2 days.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
Relax, ok

No need to wait.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Nithin,
You can do at home after 5 days. You need not to wait till next cycle.
If test negative then need not to worry.
yes, bleeding may increase in next 5 days.
I can say very very less chance (Mostly no). I know I am confusing you but i pill do like that it will prevent 98% but 2 % chances are there.
Since bleeding started I told you very very less.
So to relive your anxiety you can get test done after 5 days (If bleeding stopped completely)
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
