Weak rule and chest tightness

I started taking the pill Velafee a week ago. At that time, I thought my period had started, but this time it was very weak and brownish. For about 14 days, my breasts have also been feeling tender, which is not unusual as this usually happens before my period starts. However, I am worried that my period was so weak this time, that has never happened before.... Only when I was a teenager and did sports did it skip once... I have now started exercising again, but not excessively... Should I be worried?
Dear questioner,
So that I understand you correctly:
14 days ago you felt breast tenderness. 7 days ago your period started. On that day you started taking Velafee (0.3mg?). Throughout, the bleeding was weaker than usual.
The pill puts the body in a hormonal situation similar to pregnancy. This can affect the uterine lining and the associated menstruation.
Similarly, exercise can change the intensity of bleeding and extend the duration. In athletes, bleeding can even completely disappear.
Your weak period is probably harmless and a common side effect.
Continue taking the pill according to prescription. Please wait for the next period and observe it.
If the bleeding continues to weaken, completely disappear, or if other symptoms occur, please consult your gynecologist.
For completeness' sake: Have you had unprotected sex in the last 5 weeks? Can you rule out a pregnancy?
I look forward to your feedback and wish you a speedy recovery.
