Brief Answer:
do urine pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, there are negligible chances of pregnancy as you had periods after that, he didn't penetrate and you took ipill.
But still to confirm it do a urine pregnancy test and then tell me report.

Brief Answer:
side effects of ipill

Detailed Answer:
Yes this is most probably a side effect of ipill and is very common because it deranges the hormonal mileau of the body.
But good part is that it will be gone in a couple of months and you will be fine soon.
But from next cycle onwards start having protected sex or take oral contraceptive pills.

Brief Answer:
progesterone given

Detailed Answer:
As your pregnancy test is negative take tablet norethisterone 5 mg twice a day for 5 days.
Then you will get your periods within 3-5 days of stopping them.
Then on first day of periods take oral pills regularly.
Crisanta LS, ovral-L or XXXXXXX are good pills.
All the best.
