Hello,
I have gone through your query and here are the answers: 1. When hormonal contraception is initiated, it is common to see disturbances in the menstrual cycle in the form of the frequency, duration and the amount of flow. This settles down in a couple of months. 2. The initial couple of cycles of birth control pills need additional protection since ovulation may not be inhibited. Failure chances are more if this is not done. If your current menstrual flow is not heavy and is limited, you can ignore. If the bleeding is persistent, you may need styptics to control and further opinion from an expert in person. Hope this helps.
