Light Bleeding Post A Jab Of Depo-provera, Advised Norithisterone. Is It Safe?

default
Posted on Wed, 5 Jun 2013
Question: I've gotten a jab of depo-provera as birth control. Been having light bleeding for 3 weeks now.

My doctor also gave me Norithisterone to take since my wedding is in a few days, to stop my menses. Is it safe to take norithisterone while still having light bleeding?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The mild irregular spotting that you are having is commonly associated with depo provera shot. This spotting usually subsides on its own in 3-4 weeks. Since you want to stop the bleeding completely, Norethisterone is the right choice for you. It will help in stopping the spotting in 3-5 days.
You can safely take norethisterone after a depo provera shot to regulate the bleeding.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
