Brief Answer:
Due to effect of ipill

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
You have mingled with your nenstruation badly by taking high dose hormone pills (ipill) in doses which can cause anything from missed period to grossly deranged cycles for 2-3 months.
In my opinion now just wait for your periods for one week and in case you don't get them start oral pills on regular basis.
It will regulate your cycle and give you contraception too.
Chances of pregnancy are minimal.
Avoid ipill intake of more that once a year and that too in emergency and not a regular method of contraception.
Regards
Dr Manisha

Can i be sure that i wouldnt be pregnant?and this effect will last for 2 - 3 months ?

Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy negligible

Detailed Answer:
Yes dear in my opinion chances of pregnancy are negligible and as regards irregularities in period they can last for just next cycle or even more than 3 cycles.
That is why ipill should be reserved for emergency cases only.

Brief Answer:
No risk of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Sorry for the delay in response dear.
Yes that was certainly your period (on 30th may) so the tests are right and there is no risk of pregnancy.
Now the only issue left unresolved is the irregularities in period, it can persist for 2-3 months ar might get resolved with next period which can come anytime till 30th XXXXXXX
So just relax and wait for things to normalise which certainly will normalise provided you refrain from unprotected sexual activity and Ipill intake
