Question

I'm wondering if taking the I-pill can cause really heavy periods that go on for a week or more? I've been experiencing extremely heavy bleeding for days now, and it's definitely more intense than my usual periods. Should I be concerned about this?

Yes, I-pill can sometimes cause changes in your menstrual cycle, including heavier or prolonged periods, as it contains a high dose of hormones. If your periods are unusually heavy for several days, it might be a side effect. If it persists, its a good idea to consult a doctor.

Question

I've been feeling a bit worried because I had chickenpox last month and now my periods are delayed, which has never happened before. My period was due on the 4th of November, but I ended up getting chickenpox on the 15th. I'm still on my regular diet and don't have any other issues. Could this delay in my period be linked to weakness from the chickenpox? Can you help me understand what's going on?
