Have Irregular Periods After Child Birth. Changed Birth Control Pills. Which Specialist Should I See?

I had a child 9 months ago. While breastfeeding , I had no periods, when I stopped I got a very heavy period that lasted 7 days, around the 5th day I was bleeding through a tampon every hour or earlier. My gyno advised, I should go to ER, it then stopped. They switched my birth control from mini pill to microgestin. Since being on microgestin for 3 months, I ve been having a period for 7 days, followed with inbetween bleeding that last from 5 days to now 8 days. Not just spotting, more like a light period. Which doctor do I see for this situation? Do you have any idea, what might be wrong?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

From your query, it is understood that changing pills might take time for your body to adjust. Your periods should normalize in a cycle or two. Please have a discussion on microgestin with your gynecologist. You may monitor your intake of pills regularly. You must also rule out any underlying medical condition causing decreased flow during periods.

Hope it helps.
