General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your query.

Loette is a birth control pill. This is usually prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles which leads to bleeding when withdrawn.

If taken over a long period of time without a gap, breakthrough bleeding occurs during to the sheer weight of the endometrium that develops under the influence of of medications.

I recommend that you stop the medications, your period should come /bleeding increases within 2-4 days. Once your period occurs, see your OBGYN after 4 days to check for persistence of cysts.

If you have enough severe bleeding (more than 5 soaked pads for more than 2days)or you have severe cramps, see your OBGYN right away.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good health
