Brief Answer:
There might be hormonal imbalance
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,thanks for the information.I understand your concern.
In my opinion the stoppage of pills in the middle might have created some hormonal imbalance leading to bleeding.
As you are not on pills for longer period the valuation might start soon after stopping the pills.
This would have occurred if the new pack was not started at all.
But as some irregular stoppage of pills occurred it might take some time for the hormonal imbalance to get to normal.
Mostly by next cycle the regularity starts and once regular cycles occur chances of conception increase.
Anyway it might not be possible for pregnancy while you are bleeding.
But consult doctor if irregular bleeding continue.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss further.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
