Hello dear
I understand your concern
Emergency contraceptive pill produce hormonal imbalance as it contain high progesterone.
Period on the 25th july is a breakthrough bleeding due to progesterone withdrawal. It is common side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill.
Period on the 6th august is your normal period.
So pregnancy is not possible.
Your period will come in next 2-4 days.
Avoid stress, do regular exercise, take healthy diet.
Hope this may help you
