Brief Answer:
Due to I pill

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX

Changes in menstrual cycle, it is common side effect of i pill.

Since you have not had sexual intercourse and she got her regular periods there is no chance of pregnancy.

Bleeding after 2 days due to i pill which can cause withdrawal bleeding.

I pill can decrease flow or can cause scanty period and irregular periods due to hormonal changes in body because it contains high dose of levonogesterol.

Decreased flow is possible since she already had 2 days of withdrawal bleeding.

You need not to worry. This is all due to i pill.

If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.

Thank you.
