I pill related issues
I have taken the I pill a total of 5 times and first time I took it, I had withdrawal bleeding but after that I never faced any bleeding when I pill was taken
I took it last week and im experiencing withdrawal bleeding, is it something that I should be worried about? Do I have chances of getting pregnant?
And 2 weeks ago i have already finished my period cycle

Emergency pills are known to cause irregular vaginal bleeding
the bleeding after the intake of an emergency pill is a side effect called withdrawal bleeding you need to keep in mind that side effects may not always manifest
also emergency pills have a high failure rate you can be pregnant despite taking one

Withdrawal bleeding is not mandatory. It has high failure rate and pregnancy can happen despite taking the pill.

Withdrawal bleeding after the i-pill varies between cycles, so not bleeding every time doesn't mean anything went wrong, and this time's bleeding by itself isn't a cause for worry. Using the i-pill this often isn't meant for regular contraception though, since it's far less reliable than a proper method and tends to disrupt your cycle, which is likely what you're seeing now.
Next Steps
If your period doesn't arrive as expected within the next week, take a home pregnancy test to be sure. Please talk to a gynaecologist about switching to a regular contraceptive method so you aren't relying on emergency pills repeatedly.
