Brief Answer:
Effect of pills

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Scanty periods is most likely due to the hormonal effect of the pills.
The effect of the pills persist for next 3-4 months.
So, there is nothing to worry.
Normal cycles will resume in a month or two.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
