Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
Missed period is the early sign of the pregnancy.
It seems you do not missed any period.
It is not possible to be pregnant.
ipill is basically a MASSIVE dose of hormones which bring on a period (and hopefully flush out any egg/sperm). The duration bleeding is different for everybody.
Depending on where in your cycle you took it will depend on how much womb lining there is to shed, but sometimes, it can totally mess up your cycle for a couple of months whilst your hormones settle back down.
Till the hormone settle back, you may have these abnormal bleeding her and there.
Apart from anything, prolonged or frequent use of emergency contraceptives will royally mess up your cycle, hormones, and possibly cause damage to your reproductive system in the long run because your body is being “forced” to go against nature.

You can have sex whenever you like …. Use condoms - until you can get sorted out with another form of contraception such as the pill or implant. The ipill is NOT a form of contraception.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
