What Causes Irregular Spotting After A Noristerat Injection Shot?
I m on nuristerate injections for birth control. Been having odd periods that last 2 weeks or more. At the moment my period started last week. It began as spotting than a light flow. The blood is grainy and looks like sand and my flow is extremely low. What can I do to get back to my normal cycle?

Hello,
Noristerat is a contraceptive injection that contains the progestin hormone, norethisterone enanthate.
The most common side effect of the birth control shot is irregular bleeding. Most women will adjust to the hormone levels of a birth control shot in several months or after a few rounds of treatment. Serious problems are very rare.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
