Brief Answer:
Emergency contraception

Detailed Answer:
hi
greetings
You have mentioned that intercourse on XXXXXXX 11th,but on which day of your menses cycle. That is very important.
However you have taken I pill after 24 hrs and that could be the reason for spotting.
There is no need to take meprate for your regular periods.
You can wait and watch.
Pregnancy test should be done after 15 to 20 days of intercourse to know you are pregnant or not.
If you are having regular menses you will get your periods if not pregnant. It may be delayed by few days because of i pill.
So provide me more details especially on which day of your cycle you had intercourse.
I can guide more.hope you are convinced. Regards Brief Answer:
Ovulation

Detailed Answer:
Hi
greetings
. I don't think you should be taking meprate.
You had your periods on may 6th.And intercourse was on XXXXXXX 11th.chances of pregnancy is very less.
But can't say as you are having pcod and irregular cycles.
Now wait till XXXXXXX 25 to 28 and do a urine pregnancy test or hcg hormone level in blood.
If negative wait for normal periods to come.
No role of meprate with out the confirmation.
If positive you can consult a gynaecologist.
Taking I pill frequently is not at all safe.
Try using alternate methods or take contraceptive pills regularly which will help to regularise your cycles also. You can discuss with your gynaecologist.
Feel free to ask your doubts with more details. Regards

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
hi
Is it a separate episode.?
usually when condom breaks there is a possibility of semen entering vagina .Exact details only you both will know.
As I suggested earlier it depends on which day of your cycle.
I suggest you to start on oc pill for 3 to 4 cycles ,after getting your normal periods ,so that your cycles will get regularised as well as ,it helps in contraception .
so wait for your normal cycle.
