Brief Answer:
can be a side effect of i pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Unprotected intercourse can lead to pregnancy. Using emergency contraceptive pills ( I pills) repeatedly after unprotected intercourse have a side effect of irregular menstrual cycle and scanty flow during menstruation.
I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done to confirm whether you are pregnant or not. If not pregnant, then you are most probably having side effects of I pill.
I would suggest you to start oral contraceptive pills as a birth control measure as it is most suitable for you, but it can be started after ruling out pregnancy and from the first day of your next periods.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
