Hi,

I really appreciate your concern, such irregular menses could be due to taking some hormone medicine but this could be physiological too even without any hormone medicines, in either case, this is nothing to worry, because condition could be alright later or sooner, contraceptive methods do not protect for sure against pregnancy but this could cause some side effect for sure some time may cause conception too, take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
