Hi there,
Thanks for writing,
Yes, continue with the tablets .the menstruation is due to the decreased level of hormones like progesterone and estrogen. On keeping them in circulation, you can keep your daughter out if period , until the consumption of tablets.
It takes atleast 3 dose to get the result.
Take care.
