General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yes, it is definitely possible that it could affect your menstrual cycle but this should regularize as you continue the medication.
Periods are usually lighter , last for a shorter period of time and associated with less pain once hormonal contraception is used.


Once the medication is taken consistently there is little chance of conception.

I hope this helps
