Hi,
If you are on progestrone only contraceptive, you are likely to have periods as you complain of. This is a side effect of the specific contraceptive. If you are on two hormone combination contraceptive and still you have irregular periods. You should get investigated for knowing exact cause and get cause specific treatment from a gynecologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
