Hello,
Welcome to HCM
As per your history,you are taking Diane 35 from last 2 years.
It is a oral contraceptive pill used in the treatment of PCOD. It is a combination of oestrogen (ethinyloestradiol) and progesterone (cyproterone acetate).
Regular bleeds occur after taking this pill, but these are not true periods but hormone withdrawal bleeds.
Since these are not true periods ,periods may be scanty lasting for 1-2 days.
So,no need to worry.
If this symptoms continue for another two cycles consult your GYNECOLOGIST
for change of treatment.
Thank you.
