Brief Answer:
Due to ipill
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
This is all due to ovarian suppression caused by repeated ipill intake which has very high dose progesterone.
Ipill is an emergency contraception method and not something which can be used every now and then whenever you indulge in sexual activity.
In case not meticulously used it can cause serious derangement of periods and even tubal ectopic pregnancy which is a surgical emergency.
So in future either do a protected sex or resort to oral pills on daily basis as a regular method of contraception.
Right now you need to take norethisterone tablets 5 mg three times a day for 3 days for withdrawal of periods, but it is a prescription drug so you need to consult your gynecologist for prescription.
Take care.
In case you have any questions about it, I will be happy to help.
