Stomach Cramps, Bleeding, Stopped Periods While Taking Birth Control. Worried

Hi Dr I started duromines 15mg a week ago and I am on the pill contraceptive. I started experiencing stomach cramps for 5 mins and I bled for an hour but then my periods disappeared I am on the white pills which is my expected periods time. I am worried why my periods have disappeared, what could be the reason for this be?

Thanks

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. It seems like you started a drug or medication and since then you have been having problems with stomach cramps, bleeding, and others. While it is common to have these side effects when you switch birth control pills, it is not going to have a great impact on your future pregnancies. The reason for disappearance of your periods is that your uterus might be maintained in a certain phase of the menstrual cycle not reaching menses itself.

I hope you visit with a gynecologist if you are not comfortable with your current contraceptive method. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
