What Causes Cramps And Bleeding After Starting 'qlaira' Pills?

I have been taking Qlaira for 6 weeks after not taking any OCP for 6 months. The first month (on day 18) I started experiencing light spotting, then what appeared to be the start of my period. This continued for a week, but my period did not start. By the end of the pack I still had not experienced a withdrawal bleed. I began the next pack as normal. Now I am 15 days into the pack, and I have started to get cramps and bleeding. Should I change my pill? Or will these symptoms & irregularities ease?

Hello,

Qlaira pills can cause irregular periods. This may cause your periods to come earlier or delayed or over ride, it commonly gets normal after the body adjusts with the hormonal changes. You can continue to take the same pills for a few months. Your body should get adjusted. If not and have discomfort, you can change the pills. However, you are suggested to get clinically examined by a OBGYN.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
