Brief Answer:
Can be due to i pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I pill induces withdrawal bleeding within 10-12,days of its intake.
This spotting can be due to I pill or can be due to implantation bleeding, if pregnancy has occurred.
I will suggest her to wait for the periods.
If delayed, then get a urine pregnancy test done to rule out any pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
