Periods Irregular For Last 6 Months Minastrin Fe

I am 39, I've been on LoEtrin Fe and later Minastrin Fe for several years. I've always has some sort of period, even if it's just light for one or two days, usually some slight cramping but nothing like without the Pill, until about April or May, when I seemed to spot for a week before, had nothing the week of the iron pills, and then went right back to my regular schedule of white pills. The next month, normal, light period lasting about a day, a rather heavy one in September, some cramping but almost no spotting or anything in October, some minor cramping but also nothing in November, and I am just worried something is wrong. It's time for my next period, so I can't report about that till after Sunday, and though I've not missed any pills, I worry about pregnancy.

Some women stop having periods, while taking hormonal contraceptives and it is usually nothing to worry about, unless your doctor feels there is reason to be concerned.

The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and PMS-like symptoms.

Are you at risk of pregnancy? Have you missed taking any tablets?
