Does taking birth control pills after heavy menstrual bleeding cause menstrual irregularities?

Patient's question:

On June 14th, I had an abortion. My period came on August 11th. I took emergency contraception in between. Then, on September 2nd, I had another period. It hasn’t come yet. On October 30th, I took emergency contraception again. It’s been two months now, and I’m really worried. Is it because of the emergency contraception causing my menstrual irregularity? Assuming I’m not pregnant, how can I get my period to come faster? Can I take progesterone? Will it have side effects? I’m under a lot of stress every day, and I have insomnia and nightmares. But in the past two years, my menstrual cycle has also been irregular.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the information you have provided, it is possible that your condition may be due to menstrual irregularities caused by taking birth control pills. It is recommended that you maintain a good mood on a daily basis, as mood can also affect your menstrual cycle. You should first go to a regular hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to carefully check the endometrium and a detailed examination of the six hormones. Based on the examination results, appropriate solutions should be implemented. The above answer is hoped to help you, thank you.
