Brief Answer:
This bleeding is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The bleeding you are having now is a withdrawal bleeding due to hormonal pill you have taken. Withdrawal bleeding after taking I-pill is normal thing. You don't need to be worried about this.
I-pill gives more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy if it is taken within first 24 hrs. In your case, chance of pregnancy is quite low (less than 1%).
Your next cycle will be delayed for 1 to 2 weeks from period due date due to hormonal imbalance and mental stress. Most women get late period after intake of I-pill. However, I suggest to undergo one home pregnancy test if your period is delayed more than 1 week.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
