Can contraceptives affect period blood flow?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. Contraceptive pills have a high doses of Progesterone hormone, the same hormone which is produced in your body in the second half of the period after ovulation. This pill will suddenly increase the thickness of the inner lining of the uterus, making it unfavorable for a possible pregnancy to implant. As it is a single dose, it has no strength to stand on, so it falls off and you get period or bleeding of the increased thickness within seven to ten days of taking the pill. This bleeding will be thick, fleshy pieces, dark red or brown, with slight lower abdominal pain till the bleeding is reduced. This pill is very effective and you have taken the pill on time. So there is a very low chance of failure of contraception. But this will disturb your hormonal balance and also the subsequent periods. So this is not advisable to be taken very frequently. So if sex is going to be regular, use cyclical oral contraceptive pills or birth control pills. If sex is going to be occasional, the use of condoms is better. If protection is sure, then do not take the emergency pills unnecessarily. This will disturb the hormones and periods, causing a lot of anxiety. All these irregularities are due to the pills. I hope this helps, do write back if any more queries.

Thank you.
