Hi there,

Apparently your endogenous hormonal and menstrual cycle seems to be disturbed by the exogenous hormonal depot. OCPs like oralcon pill can help to regularize your cycles, if taken in a cyclical way. If your cycles were regular before taking these shots and pills, probably it is just an effect of these medications.

But to exactly pin-point the cause of menstrual problems, you need to be properly evaluated with clinical history, physical exam and relevant investigations.

Hope it helps.......
