Brief Answer:
ipill can cause delayed or early periods.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your concerns.

Your girlfriend had periods 4 days after taking ipill. Now she is again having periods after 10 days.

I would like to tell you that Ipill can alter normal menstrual cycle. Her cycle will become normal in 2-3 months. This is due to high hormonal contents in ipill.

As she is having her periods, there are no chances of pregnancy. Do not worry about that.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.

if we goes to see a doctor in future is there any chances that it can be traced that she took I pill as we are worried she is at home and she might be going to see the doctor with her parents for the same reason.
