HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Most hormonal medication of this type can be used for different reasons. If used consistently then it can be used as a contraceptive but it can also be used to help irregular periods.
It is progesterone only medication that can help with the lining of the endometrium.
If you are not sure about the medication and the reason that you are using it then you may want to speak to your doctor.
I hope this helps
