Very minimal flow, but very often. I have been taking the micronor pill for 2 years. And before that another kind. I have always taken it continuously and usually I had my period every two and a half months. Very regular before. Is the change normal? I take the same medication at the same time. What can cause a drastic change at this point. Having small bleeding every two weeks VS being menstruated regularly every 2 months for 3-4 days. Thank you for your response!

I have light bleeding every two weeks or so that lasts several days. Is this a normal change?

Good evening ma'am,

What is your question, specifically? :)

Thank you for these details.

In my opinion, this is because the Micronor™ is no longer concentrated enough in hormones to prevent periods in your situation. In fact, very few women succeed in taking it continuously with this pill.

It is difficult to find the reason for this. Stress or resuming a greater level of physical activity may explain, among other things.

In an ideal world, one would consult a doctor to change the pill, simply :)
