HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the second time of vaginal bleeding was breakthrough bleeding that can occur as a side effect of using hormonal contraception.
This is more likely if the bleeding that occurred on the 30 th of March was at the time you expected your period to start.
If , according to this time frame, you have missed your period then you may want to consider a pregnancy test.
This can be done via a urine sample or blood test.
You may want to use an early detection kit that can pick up low levels of HCG.
If the test is negative, you can wait to see if the period comes .
If it does not you may want to visit your doctor for an evaluation.In most cases it is not due to any significant condition.
I hope this helps
