Hi,
Even if you have noncancerous tumor like fibroid, when you are taking you can have irregular periods. The pill has Progesterone hormone, which also tends to cause irregular periods. Rest assured about its contraceptive effect provided its taken regularly without a break.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
