Irregular period: Irregular periods following birth is very common. It reflects your body's efforts to recalibrate hormones back to normal levels. It can take up to 6 months or more if you are breastfeeding to resume normal cycles. MicroOval contains progestin which may actually cause you to cease having periods while taking it.
