After taking i-Pill, it is common to experience withdrawal bleeding or an early period within a few days because of the hormonal effect of the medicine. If the bleeding lasted around 5 days and felt similar to your usual period, it is often considered a new menstrual cycle for practical tracking purposes.

You can usually count the first day of that bleeding as the starting date for your next cycle and expect your next period about a month from then. However, emergency contraceptive pills can temporarily disturb hormones, so the next period may come a few days earlier or later than expected. If your next period gets delayed by more than a week, taking a pregnancy test is advisable for confirmation.

If i-pill is taken within 72 hours then periods will be on regular date.If it is taken beyond 72 hours then success rate less.So periods may or may not come
