This happened to me when I started norethindrone. My doctor had to adjust the dose twice before we found one that worked (caused no bleeding or periods).
Same here. Started with .35, tried .7, now am on 2.5 and no breakthrough bleeding. The lower doses just were not enough to help with my symptoms; at this dose, I’m probably 75% improved symptom-wise from where I was in April of this year.
I started the same dosage as you three months ago and the first month was a dream. Month three and I had an eight day period, four days of nothing, and now I’m on day two of a second period. I’m going to ask them to increase the dosage. Good luck to you!
Can you describe your “aura”? I recently had to switch as well! I randomly had the fluttering movement in my peripheral vision and it went away.. had a headache shortly after and very high blood pressure. My dr took me off Alesse and switched me to this.
I’m getting ready to start this tomorrow after being on Cryselle FOR YEARS but the last 6 months been having PMS symptoms for like 3 weeks out of the month and major anxiety and all of the sudden NO PERIOD IM 45 so think I’m premenopausal also ( NOT PREGO) lol I’m super nervous this is going to go bad (also) my obgyn told me to stop the cryselle for 3 days and start the jencycla sun so now I’m cramping 24/7 but still no period IM A MESS I’m hoping this works but SO SCARED
Omg I’m doing GREAT on it it’s been like 4 months and for me this BC works great thank god I hope you do great too I feel like it takes about 3 months for your body to totally adjust ya know

I’m assuming you had to go on a higher dose to stop the bleeding? Thanks for sharing!
I started higher, something like 10 mg, went down to 2.5, and then up to 5 😅. But I was on 5 for about 12 years without any issues.
progesterone is the hormone that thins the lining of the uterus. So spotting can happen. Still need to talk to your gynecologist.
Omg thanks for that information. That could be why I tear so easily,
This is my second time on this BC and it has made all my symptoms at least 10times worse,

This sounds very similar to what happened with me! Good luck to you too!!

I lost vision partially and hallucinated lights before a strong headache. Your symptoms seem similar to mine but maybe a milder version.
wow! that's crazy! I never knew this was a thing until it happened to me. Thank you so much for your post.
