HI, Microlut is a single hormone contraceptive ( progesteron only ). It's known to cause irregular spottings & irregular, lperiods. This is usually in first year of intake .Later on menses get scanty / no menses. You had switched on Levlin which is a two hormone contraceptive.. may cause occasional spotting in first few months.. till your body gets used to the medicine .. It's safe to use additional barrier contraceptive in first couple of months.. Thanks.
