Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
It is very common for cycles to be disturbed after taking the I pill.
The normal expected period can be pre-ponded or post-ponded by up to a week or may be up to ten days.
You might have bleed after taking i-pill because of hormonal imbalance due to high progesterone hormone in i-pill.
This irregularity of periods might last for couple of months and after that your will be regular.
Consult gynaecologist for further details.
