Brief Answer:
Withdrawal bleeding
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns and anxiety about it.
There is nothing to worry as this is just a withdrawal bleeding in response to I pill (as it has high dose of progesterone).
Consider it as early periods and nothing else.
Mostly it is a welcome sign as it rules out pregnancy but not conclusive so do a pregnancy test after 10 days from today and see the result.All the best.
