Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be a hormonal imbalance or pregnancy.
I pill is not 100 % effective in preventing the pregnancy and cause pregnancy as it has 5-10% failure rate.
Bleeding after 2 days after taking pill is progesterone withdrawal bleeding.
Very light period could be a implantation bleeding
I would suggest to undergo urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
In absence of pregnancy, it could be a hormonal imbalance caused by I pill.
Period can be induced by progesterone pill under advise of gynecologist.
Avoid stress. take healthy diet and drink plenty of water
Hope this may help you
