Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

You are not pregnant.

Since you had sexual intercourse 2 days after complete of your period which was not your ovulation time, so there is no chance of pregnancy.

Bleeding with cramps mostly due to unwanted 72 which contains levonogesterol, it can cause withdrawal bleeding, spotting or irregular periods.

If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.

Thank you.

Thanks for your response. But I observed that bleeding was occurred for only one night and next morning and amount is very less(not like normal flow). After that it has stopped. So I'm confused.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

You need not to be confused.

If I pill cause active bleeding it may lasts for 3-5 days or it may cause spotting as well.

It is not compulsory that I pill should cause active bleeding for 3-5 days like normal flow. Bleeding can last one or 2 days.
Side effects vary from one person to other person due to hormonal changes.

Sometimes instead of causing withdrawal bleeding it can delay your due date of menstrual cycle. I pill can delay periods or can cause withdrawal bleeding or can cause spotting.

Nothing to worry, there is no chance of pregnancy since you had intercourse after 2 days of period.

This is all due to i pill.
