Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

During the consumption of any contraceptive pill, break through bleeding can occur.

Moreover, if you have got your periods following unprotected sexual intercouse, chances of pregnancy are nil.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
