What Is The Cause Of Prolonged Bleeding After Taking Rigevidon?

I have recently started taking Rigevidon, and my first three months seemed easy and there were no problems. However I decided not to take a break between the 3rd and 4th packet and I am on my third week of month 4 and have experienced over a week of bleeding. at first it was very light and then it seemed to stop however today it started again and appears like my normal period would be. What is going on?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query. The cause of this irregular bleeding in the current cycle seems to have sprung from the change of regime you have taken. This may have created some hormone imbalance. Hormone imbalances are common during the initial months of hormone contraception and result in several menstrual irregularities like inter-menstrual spotting/bleeding, heavy bleeding or scanty periods, absent periods etc. Once the body adjusts to the new hormone milieu, stability is attained. In this scenario, I would ask you to contact your health care provider for a proper appraisal of the situation and either adjust the doses or add progesterone/styptics to control the bleeding and regularize it. Supplementary treatment is essential to make up for the loss. Hope this helps.
