Hello,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. It is often usual to experience irregular menstrual pattern while on hormone contraception. This is due to the altered hormone balance. However, this occurs during the initial couple of months until the body adjusts to the new hormone milieu. In the current scenario, you have to exclude/confirm pregnancy, though the chances are remote. Please get the blood test done and follow it up with a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram to clarify the situation and plan further management. Hope this helps.
