Hello Doctor,
I have been taking medicines (ovral L, ovabless myo, Shelcal) for hormone balance for the last 3 months. During the course of medicine my cycle is usually completed within 5-6 days. But, this time when the 3 month course has completed, I am still bleeding on day 6.
Is it normal or any side-effects of not taking medicine.

This is your normal cycle without ovral. Usually the bleeding stops after you start the new packet of pills.
Next Steps
Continue to monitor the bleeding pattern. And book an appointment for check up if prolonged or heavy bleeding continues
