Hi,
The 2 drugs you mentioned both can lead to menstrual problems. Citralopram usually causes heavy periods but Cerazette can lead to your symptoms. If you have missed a period with intercourse then maybe get a urine pregnancy test first of all along with Ultrasonography of abdomen. If both do not show anything then ask your doctor to change the medication.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
I don't think that Citalopram may have affected the protection. Do a pregnancy test first.
