Brief Answer:
She is not pregnant.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It is normal to have an irregular bleeding or a decrease in bleeding after taking an I-pill. Since she has had periods twice after having the pill, there is absolutely no chance of pregnancy now. The symptoms that she is having can be due to stress and anxiety. Nothing needs to be done. There is no need to re check for pregnancy.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
