Hi, thanks for writing..
I pill is high dose hormonal pills.. this itself can cause delayed periods, intermensrual spotting and brownish discharge.. This decreses thge chance of pregnancy by 89%. So incase you have a doubt about pregnancy, get a urine pregnancy test with early morning sample.. Repeated intake of i pill is not advisable.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
