Concerned about the effectiveness of my pill?
32-year-old woman
Hello, I have been taking the contraceptive pill Jencycla since January 2022 (exclusive breastfeeding). Since taking the medication, I have not had any spotting/bleeding. However, since August, I have had 2 periods with a one week break and I think I am starting a third one. Is this normal?

Good morning, ma'am,
Although the situation may seem unpleasant, it does not necessarily indicate a problem and usually goes away on its own. I invite you to continue taking your contraceptive as planned if you are willing to do so
Bleeding can occur following an episode of stress, fatigue, illness or vaccination, or a change in schedule, but if you have not forgotten to take it, or if you have episodes of diarrhea or vomiting, Jencycla remains effective.
I hope I have reassured you, do not hesitate if you have any other questions
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
