That's why it was only the first half of the sentence. The second half and the following sentence gave you the more explicit description of the problem.

Plus there are serious problems with it, I'm copying this list off Wikipedia for convenience:

severe headaches, constant bleeding (metrorrhagia), weight gain, panic attacks, muscle pain, heart palpitations, pain during sex, acne, irregular menstrual bleeding, abdominal cramps, dizziness, weakness or fatigue, leg cramps, nausea, vaginal discharge or irritation, breast swelling and tenderness, bloating, swelling of the hands or feet, backache, depression,insomnia, pelvic pain, no hair growth or excessive hair loss, rash, hot flashes,joint pain, convulsions, jaundice, urinary tract infections, allergic reactions, fainting, paralysis, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolus

Bleeding and fainting. As she said.

So her story holds up. She can't use the pill, so she relied on condoms. Condoms are well over 90% effective, but she got burned, so she needed emergency contraception.
