Hi. Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor. Most of the OCP preparations contain both estrogen and progesterone. For postponement of period only progesterone preparations are given and the combination with estrogen is not suitable. Also, progesterone is effective only if taken at least 3 days before the expected date of periods and not when taken on the day of periods. In a normal menstrual cycle, the level of hormones fall just before the onset of periods. But since you took the pills the increase in hormones level would have prevented the onset of period for a short time. Now you are experiencing a heavy period because of the pills. If the flow does not reduce or stop in another 2 days you should consult a gynecologist for further follow up. In future do not indulge in self-medication as that will do more harm than good. I hope this is useful to you.
