Hi Malvika
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
It was unnecessary for you to take Ipill.The bleeding you experienced is secondary to ipill consumption.Taking emergency contraception pills like Ipill can cause intermittent bleeding like you had , delay periods.
Please avoid taking emergency contraception pills frequently , and adapt other methods of contraception like regular oral contraceptive pills , calender method etc.,
Take care
