Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. I have gone through your query and would like to offer some suggestions. Abnormal menstrual pattern is observed when hormone contraception is initiated until the body adjusts to the altered milieu. This is the most likely cause for the bleeding pattern you are experiencing. Styptics may be used to control the bleeding. If the bleeding persists, you need to visit your health care provider for further management. Additional protection should be used during the initial couple of cycles. Coagulation profile, hepatic function and sonogram of the pelvis are useful in monitoring. Hope this helps.
