Brief Answer:
Menstrual cycles will commence as per your cycle.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Before answering your query, I would like to give you some information.
The chances of conception are maximum around ovulation.
Once the menstruation commences there are no chances of conceiving for the time periods continue and around one week after the periods.
During this period you needn't use any contraceptive or morning after pill.
You will get your periods as scheduled according to your cycles.
Brown spots could be just the last few days of menstruation wherein you get spotting.
If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.

But, my cycle was scheduled to start on 22, and i had unprotected sex on 21. Even had ipill on 21. Since 21 night i'm experiencing only brown spots and no bleeding. So, is it a time to worry that i might get pregnant? Or when will my periods start, because i read it somewhere that ipill may lead to little delay in periods, is it true??
Brief Answer:
Pregnancy test required
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
You need to take up urine pregnancy test to confirm or rule out pregnancy.
If the pregnancy test comes out to be negative you can wait for your cycles.
The pill can result in delay in periods.
However, the most important thing is to take up the pregnancy test.
Thanks and take care
