Brief Answer:
Side effects of pill

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes dear it is the side effect of ipill and not pregnancy at all.
It is very common so nothing to worry.
Just take tablet norethisterone 5 mg thrice a day for 3 days and on leaving it you will get periods in 3-5 days.
It is an easily available on prescription at any pharmacy.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
Expect them in 3-5 days

Detailed Answer:
Yes pregnancy tests are accurate so no risk of pregnancy specially when you have done it 4 times already.
You can expect periods within 3-5 days from today as it takes some time after completion of the pills.
No risk of pregnancy dear so just relax.
Take care
