Hi,

Pentagon is is depot preparation of the progesterone like hormone. The hormone tends to cause irregular bleeding menses to absence of periods but it has effect to stop ovulation and thus achieves contraception. While on Pentagon you had Prolonged bleeding for 2 months. After this you started with Gennette35.It has hormone Estrogen.

This hormone tends to correct the disturbed menstrual cycle. In the process, prolonged bleeding followed by weakness lead to delay in periods. Please be patient. Continue course of Genette as per your doctor's advice for 3 months by this time your periods would be regular.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
