Brief Answer:
This is not Serious

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about variation in periods after consuming i pill.

Following is my reply:

1) ipill does cause temppary imbalance of hormones and thereby causes such vaiations like spotting for a long time and also preponing of periods.

2) This generally gets corrected by next month.

3) Another option would be to stat on oal contaceptive pills which will help egulate cycle by stopping the bleeding.

4) This is not a seious issue to be worried about.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Point no. 3 refered to oral contraceptive birth control tablet of 21 pills pack. If you stat the pills today, it will stop bleeding and regulate her cycles.
