Brief Answer:
Yes, please continue the medications.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The recent irregularity in cycles is because of the I pill.
That can lead to irregular cycles.
Have you had irregular cycles even before taking the I pill ?
Please continue the medications right now.
Wait for a month for the effect of the I pill to pass, and if irregular periods still persist, you would have to visit an OB - GYN for internal check up, pelvic transvaginal ultrasound scan and hormonal tests.
What is your height and weight ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

Thank you so much for the quick response.
Yes, I had irregular cycles before also but usually they are 5 days-10days late. Also, last year I got a month delayed periods once. I did some tests as asked by my gyn but everything was normal.
I am 24 yrs and weigh 47kg
Is there any other medicine that I can use for regularizing my periods?

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
You have already taking I pill.
Please do not take any other medications or hormonal pills.
If all tests are normal, you do not have to worry.
You can take regular oral contraceptive pills ( such as Marvelon, Krimson - 35 ) etc regularly for 3 months or so.
They will make your cycles regular and provide contraceptive benefit too.
