Is this normal for my cycle?

Question

I usually have my periods around the 21st of each month.

In August I wanted to my delay my period, so I started a pack of Microgynon 30 (so there are 21 pills) on Aug 7th after a long break.

It worked in delaying my period and yesterday i got some bleeding 5 days into my 7 pill-free days. It's not as heavy as my normal period though but I did get some cramping.

I had s*x without a condom (but I was on the pill) on the 26th of August, and I had one pill left to take in the pack (which was the first pack i'd taken out of the box of 3) which I was meant to take on the 27th and I did. So i'm now on my 7 day break.

Is my period just lighter because I delayed it by a bit so it messed them up a bit? Or could there be another reason such as pregnancy?

I've tried to include as much information as possible, and I hope people would be kind enough to try and work this out for me, i'm not very good at this kind of thing. If you need any more info i'll be happy to add it!

Thanks!

Answer 1

i used to take Microgynon many moons ago, and it used to make my periods lighter, thats one of the good things about the contraceptive pill.

if you are really unsure see a doctor, as the pill isnt 100% chances are you are fine.
