Posted on Tue, 10 Dec 2024
Question: Three or four years ago, I switched from the combo pill to the XXXXXXX pill, norethindrone. It stopped my periods completely. Today I just noticed some spotting and am not sure if there will be more. It's also the first day for a new pill pack. Why would it come back now, and should I be concerned?

Spotting is a common side effect of Norethindrone. It usually goes away on it's own.
