Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The IUD is associated with shorter lighter period but does not normally affect the regularity though every one reacts differently.
Irregular periods can be bothersome and are common.
There are different potential causes for irregular periods that you may want to consider checking for, these include the following: (1) stress-
(2) physical illness
(3) extreme physical activity
(4) high levels of a hormone called prolactin
(5) abnormal levels of the thyroid hormone
(6) PCOS which stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome. This condition is diagnosed when women has at least 2 of the following: (a) delayed or irregular periods (b) increased levels of male hormones. Normally a small amount of male hormones are found in women but in this condition, the levels are higher than normal. It results in symptoms such as increased hair on the face or abdomen, acne, thinning of the hair on the scalp. ( c) cysts on the ovaries which are seen on ultrasound
YOu may want to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment of any other cause of your period delay, if possible.If any specific problem is found then it can be treated .
The oral contraceptive pill can be used to regularise periods.
Your doctor may also suggest a progesterone on its own to bring on menstruation if no specific problem is found on investigations.An example would be norculut
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

All oral contraceptives would work but some have specific side benefits.
Yaz helps women who experience PMS XXXXXXX would help if acne is an issue.
Other effective oral contraceptives are nordette, alesse, ortho-cyclen, ortho-cept,low- ogestrel for example

After taking oral contraceptive pill in by when should i expect my periods to start?
Hi
If your doctor rules out any other reasons for the delay in your period and suggests the pill then you can expect your period to restart within 2 to 4 weeks. It varies from person to person.
With the birth control your period will be lighter and should be associated with less pain.
