Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. It is often observed after initiation of hormone contraception that the body takes time to adjust to the altered hormone balance. This in turn results in abnormal menstrual patterns ranging from prolonged periods, heavy bleeding during a period, irregular menstruation, inter-menstrual bleeding/spotting and so on. You need styptics to arrest the bleeding and if you do not see any improvement, please contact your health care provider. You may then need hormones to control the bleeding. Hope this helps.
