I am taking Micronor and have had bleeding twice recently, is this a problem?
30-year-old woman
Hello, I have been taking micronor for 3 months because I had too many side effects with the combined contraceptives. In the last month and a half, I had my period 2 times which lasted 7 days with a break of 4 days in between and now I have just fallen a third time in my week after 6 days only. Each time, it happens after having sex. My appointment with my gynecologist is in 3 weeks, but I am worried (note that I take my pill every day at the same time). Before I started the pill I had very regular periods.

Good morning, ma'am,
Although the situation can be quite unpleasant, it does not necessarily indicate a problem. In fact, it can take 3 to 6 months after a change of contraception
As long as you take it at the same time every day, and you have not had any problems that could alter the absorption of the contraceptive (diarrhea, vomiting, etc.), it remains effective.
I hope this reassures you and I am available if you have any further questions!

Hello,
In fact, I wonder why this always happens after a sexual relationship?

Could there have been a trauma or small injury?
If it is only one or a few isolated events, just monitor the situation. If it persists, yes, I invite you to talk to your doctor.

Good evening,
No injury and no trauma. Also, it's not spotting or light bleeding, it's like it's "causing" my period. I will talk to my doctor about it. In the meantime, do I continue with my pill or would it be better to stop it and use a condom?

Thanks for the feedback!
I don't see any problem to continue Micronor while waiting for your imminent appointment.
