OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. It is common to experience menstrual irregularities while using oral contraceptives or any other form of hormone contraception during the initial months. This is because of the alteration of the hormonal milieu of the body due to the additional hormone. This settles down after a couple of months. Meanwhile you should try to maintain a healthy weight, a healthy diet and avoid stress. If you continue seeing this menstrual irregularity for a prolonged time without any respite, you may switch the contraceptive after consulting a specialist. Hope this helps.
