Brief Answer:
Pregnancy cannot be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thank you for choosing XXXXXXX
As you had your regular period on 3rd July and taken an emergency pill on 12th July, so I wont consider your 18th July bleeding as normal, it could be IMPLANTATION bleeding because of pregnancy. So to be sure you can get a urine pregnancy test done.
Some time post marriage due to stress there will be some amount of irregularity, you cannot take I-pill or any other emergency contraception on a regular basis, because that can affect your periods and future fertility.
You can consider taking Oral contraceptive pills or get a copper T or at least use barrier methods like condom to prevent pregnancy.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
urine pregnancy test will rule out your doubt
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
To rule out pregnancy you can get a Urine pregnancy test done, if that is negative consider your bleeding on 18th July as your normal period.
If the pregnancy test comes as positive you need to get a scan done to locate the pregnancy.
If you do not have any further clarification you can close the discussion. Kindly rate & review my answer. Wish you good health.
