Irregular menst. periods since sept.2017 after taking antibiotics. very light, short, inconsistent periods - very different to periods before. no change in contraceptive meds (trigestrel), and i don't take other meds. i'm 27. what can cause this?

Breakthrough bleed: Sounds like breakthrough bleeding which occurs when you have bleeding at unscheduled times while on the pill. Often things get back to normal the next cycle. If not then schedule a visit to discuss changing brands or changing birth control methods. This is very common. Other than being annoying it is not dangerous.
