A member asked:

When i m on ortho micronor (norethindrone) will my period stop completely if i take it the same time every day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Progesterone only: Progesterone only contraception have as the major side effect abnormal bleeding. This could mean anything from bleeding every day to no bleeding at all. The bleeding pattern is patient dependant and varies widely.
