Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You did a good thing by taking iPill for the first time because of condom break and as a precaution. You should not have taken iPill for the second time. iPill contains high dose of hormones and this can make your periods early or late.
The negative effects of taking iPill regularly is formation of large cysts in ovary, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and irregular periods leading to menstrual disturnbances and abdominal pain because of cysts.
It is likely that your periods have been affected by taking iPill twice. The periods will take two cycles to come back to normal.
Hope this helps
