Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I pill induces withdrawal bleeding within7-10 days of pill intake.
The bleeding occurs within 5-7 days of stopping meprate.
I will suggest you to wait for a week after taking meprate.
If the bleeding do not occurs within3-4 days, then there can be a chance of pregnancy.
