Not unusual: Not unusual on stopping a progesterone like Ortho Micronor (norethindrone). If the bleeding continues consult your physician. He or she may consider a short course of an estrogen or discus other options depending on the reason you decided to stop the Ortho Micronor (norethindrone).

GYN said I could take 3 packs of micronor in a row, then skip a week and start the next pack. On my 3rd pack, but I've been bleeding heavily every 2 weeks since starting it. Given that, do I still need to skip a week after this pack?
