Your physician is absolutely correct because the menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones. A hormonal imbalance causes changes or irregularities.
Birth control pills are often prescribed to correct an irregular menstrual cycle. Combination oral contraceptives contain synthetic estrogen and progesterone and are packaged with three weeks of active pills, which contain these hormones, and one week of placebo or inactive pills. Bleeding begins during the week the placebo pills are taken.
Normally, when you are not pregnant, estrogen and progesterone levels drop and you start your period. In your case, the oral contraceptives will mimic this and in time you should start your period without spotting in advance.
Listen to your physician, who has the most knowledge. Logically, it can take your body up to three months to adjust and get back to a normal menstrual cycle.
