General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Bleeding usually starts after 3 to 4 days of taking I-pill but varies from person to person. This bleeding is usually Scanty and less than regular cycle. So, no need to worry for that.

For pregnancy issue:
Wait for the next cycle Or Do urine pregnancy test after 1 month. If in next cycle bleeding occurs and pregnancy test is negative then pregnancy can be ruled out.

Otherwise, USG (Ultrasonography) is a confirmatory test. As a preventive measure, always use condom or birth control pills for unwanted pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
