Irregular periods with birth control

2017-05-18 01:12:27
Hi, Ive been on the pill Minastrin for a year now for my acne and for the past 4 months I have been breaking out and getting my period the second and fourth week of the pack. It used to work great but it seems like my hormone levels have changed? Im not sure, I was hoping to get an answer as to why this is happening.

You need to recheck your hormone levels and meet your doctor. Probably a change in medicine is what you need
