Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Early Periods While On Microgestin Fe?
I started taking microgestin fe 1/20 in February, 2015. Previously I was on the Depo Shot. I got off the shot and started having a constant period for 4 months straight, this is why I switched to microgestin fe 1/20. The new birth control helped regulate my cycle and was great for several months. However this month (June, 2015) I started my period two weeks early and have a heavier flow than normal. Is having early periods a side effect with this drug? Or should I be concerned that I m going to have a constant period again.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, beside the hormone changes due to medicine such irregular menses could be due to age and this need to be ruled out first (It may be due to menopause, you have not stated your age here) hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
