General & Family Physician,  's  Response
No, you are not pregnant.
Femilon have some undesired side effects like menstrual irregularities, inter-menstrual bleeding etc.
As you abruptly discontinued the pill you might have a withdrawal bleeding.
Now that your menstrual cycle is some what irregular, we cannot accurately calculate your expected cycle duration at this point of time.
In most cases, the cycle returns to normal within 2-3 months and then you can begin to calculate your cycle as you previously did.
Meanwhile You can adopt alternate methods like use of condom while having sexual activity. So do not worry. Just follow this advice.
