Due to ipill

Detailed Answer:
No dear, nil chances of pregnancy and all these are symptoms of ipill intake which if taken in mid cycle disrupts all the hormones.

Hello doctor i have more doubts.yesterday i.e. on the 16th day morning i noticed some brownish discharge which was later converted to brown blood .i start to google and come across the term implantation bleeding.again confused .if its because of i pill or coz of pregnancy or these are my periods only. I have no other symptom.just Lower back pain and pain in my legs only what i feel every time during my PMS. The flow is normal today not heavy like 2nd day but still getting brown blood only. Not the actual red blood of periods.what my real doubt is ...is this only my actual periods for the month of XXXXXXX ? Can a menstrual cycle become of 16 days becoz of i pill? Can i expect my periods to be normal from next month?

Brief Answer:
Negligible chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
These can be your period or just a withdrawal bleeding.
Chances of implantation bleeding or pregnancy are negligible. mates this can persist for 1-3 cycles and thus making your cycle unpredictable and even your ovulation very erratic.
So beware of unprotected intercourse now and just wait for your normal cycle to resume.All the best.
