She is absolutely right.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

Yes your doctor has advised properly. After taking i pill there will be hormonal imbalance and the body reacts to that by causing withdrawal bleed .

But within few days trhe body will totally eliminate the i pill and the hormone status comes back to normal and thus the bleeding also stops.

Regestrone controls the withdrawal bleeding , I recommend to use it only if the bleeding is heavy else there is no need of that.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask .
