Brief Answer:
Bleeding is a side effect of I-pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern, though.

Bleeding is a side effect of I-pill due to hormonal imbalance (I-pill contains high dosages of hormone in it).

It is not her period, it is withdrawal bleeding caused by I-pill.

The probabilities of pregnancy are very less in her case because she had I-pill within time, but there is no relation between pregnancy and withdrawal bleeding.

Withdrawal bleeding just a side effect of I-pill.

To confirm whether she is pregnant or not she should await for her next period.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

Good luck.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Yes, you can use it.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Nice to hear from you again though.

Yes, you can use a pregnancy kit to detect pregnancy.

Normally you have to wait 7 days after the missed period date to go for a pregnancy test.

The period can be delayed 1-2 week after taking I-pill.

Hope it is useful, feel free to call for more.

Good luck.
