Hello dear
Understand your concern
I pill cause hormonal imbalance as it contain high progesterone. It does not harmful to body too much. It cause minor side effects like disruption of menstrual cycle, breast soreness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting.

Do not worry, your bleeding is due to withdrawal bleeding.
As you taken before ovulation, at this phase of cycle progesterone is low so chance of withdrawal bleeding is high.
It will disappear in 3-5 days and your period may be delayed or early.
So do not worry, withdrawal bleeding is common after I pill and goes off in 3-5 days.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
