I'm a bit concerned because I've been taking Folligrow tablets for my hair for about two weeks, and my period, which was due on March 1st, still hasn't started. I'm wondering if taking Folligrow might be causing this delay. Could the tablets be affecting my menstrual cycle?

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.
