HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the irregular menses then it could be due to change in hormone level and thyroid may be the another cause, if you have skipped the dose of medicine for couple of days then it is okay but it should not be happen again and again, you can start the medicine again accordingly with no mistake hope this information helps.
