Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Oral Contraceptives?
Brief Answer:
I-pill is about 95% effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concern.
If taken as soon as possible but within 72 hrs following an unprotected sex, I-pill is found to be 95% effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy.
Since you had I-pill within 2 hrs, so do not worry about it.
Since bleeding started within 7 days and continued for for a week which ensures that there is no pregnancy.
Most women will have a normal period at the expected time, but some may have their period later or earlier than normal. You might also have some irregular bleeding or spotting until your next period. If your period is more than 5 days late or is unusually light or unusually heavy, or especially painful, you should contact your doctor.
Hope this answers your query, however you may send a follow-up query if you wish to.
Take care.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
As stated earlier following the use of emergency contraceptive pill like I-pill which contains high amount of hormone progesterone which may cause imbalance thus your expected period on 25th January may be delayed for a few days or so.
If your period is more than 5 days late or unusually light or heavy then you are advised to consult a gynecologist.
