Hi..first of all do a urine pregnancy test by yourself at home..this would confirm your pregnancy status..however i pill has a very high efficacy rate and may also result in irregular bleeding at times, so most probably it's because of i pill not pregnancy..however every method has some failure rate so urine pregnancy test must be done..
In time, you will regain your normal menses
In addition i would like to advise you that please don't take i pill as a habit and this frequent..there are other effective methods like barrier methods including condoms both for male and female,oral contraceptive pills which you can use with least side effects..
I find this answer helpful
