Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

According to your information, you have gotten withdrawal bleeding right now due to effect of the I-PILL.

Generally, it stops automatically within 4-5 days. However, heavy bleeding needs some treatment.

I suggest to take Tranexamic acid group of drug (like PAUSE) to arrest bleeding. Kindly, consult with with your local doctor for prescription.

Hope, it helps for your information. Practice safe sex in future, take all the necessary precautions. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

You have gotten your period and take TWO I-PILL following sex. Therefore, chance of pregnancy is quite RARE or NEGLIGIBLE.

You can undergo one home pregnancy test 4 weeks after last sexual intercourse to clear doubt and allay fears about pregnancy.
