No serious side effects are there with ipill if taken occassionally. Apart from a little nausea or a fleeting headache, it is very safe. However it is possible that your cycle may break through before time, and if it does it may last 4 - 5 days. Thats not a worry though. All will settle down after the next period, which may be delayed as well. But any delay beyond 7 to 10 days will need a pregnancy test.
