Serotonergic antidepressants can both interfere with ovulation in the beginning and for a while after dose increases. They are also mild anticoagulants which can affect menstrual flow. Sertraline seems to be more likely to cause these issues than the other SSRIs. It usually settles down after a while. See your doctor if it doesn't.
