Hi,thanks for writing..
Common sideceffect with i pill is menstrual irregularity and intermenstrual spotting.. Intermenstrual spotting can be due to that.. Delayed periods can also be its side effect.. So incase periods get delayed, get a urine pregnancy test and if negative you can take progesterone tab to get withdrawal bleeding.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
