Hi, thanks for writing..
Yes.. What your doctor said its right.. As log as you take this tablet you wont get your periods as it build up the endometrium preventing it from shedding.. After you stop the pill, you will get your periods in a week's time.. Moreover it will also help to regularise your periods..So take it as per your doctor's advise.. Hope i have answered your query.. good day..
