I am Dr Madhuri a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist and will be helping you with your queries.
You have done everything that was possible to prevent pregnancy. So nothing more can be done now. Also not every woman will experience bleeding after taking the pill. Some may not have any problem while others may have irregular cycle for a month or two and some may bleed within 7-10 days. So the bleeding does not predict the efficacy of the pill. Do not worry.
If the periods are missed for more than 14 days [ provided that there was no bleeding in the intervening period] get a pregnancy test done. Most likely this will not be needed as the pill has been taken early.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
