Birth control pills have the effect of making your cycles regular, even if they do not want to be. There are several causes for irregular or no cycles. If you had irregular cycles before you started the pills, you are now doing the same thing. If you are having bleeding with the porgesterone, that tells at least that you have estrogen being made. At present, take the progesterone regularly, as that sometimes can help someone ovulate.
