Irregular bleeding: This sort of irregular bleeding should be checked by your healthcare provider. Tests including a serum HCG test for pregnancy, and an ultrasound exam of your ovaries and tubes may be necessary. Your provider may consider oral contraceptives for "regulation" of your cycles if the former tests are negative.
