I have secondary amenorrhea what causing this is it the switching bc methods because my periods always have been regular?

Possible: One of the side effects of hormonal birth control methods is irregular periods. When you switch from one method to another, the possibility of having irregular cycle is even higher.

It may be: This should eventually regulate with the new med, so if your period does not come on soon, then get eval by your gyn.
