Dr. Parul Krishnamurthy answered

Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Monitor: It may take some time to get into rhythm, after stopping the contraceptive pill. See what your pattern is over the next 3 months or so and assess. Clearly, if there is a chance of pregnancy, do a pregnancy test to be sure
