Periods After Taking Novelon
(Newest replies first)

I was asked to take the novelon tablet for 22 days due to a cyst in my right ovary. After the course of treatment, my scan gave a clear report of normal ovary. I got my period on 29th day. It continued for 4 days with normal flow. Then till 7th day I got little spotting. Then it stopped. Now again on 10th day I have got little spotting. Is anything to worry about. Is it normal?

Hello Prats,

Novelon is a contraceptive medication that contains the active ingredients desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol. According to the National Institute of Health these active ingredients can cause unusual menstrual flow, especially when the body is beginning to adjust to the synthetic progesterone and estrogen. They do not have this listed under warnings, rather it's just a result of taking hormone medication.

You mentioned that you were taking this medication due to cyst on your right ovary and that your scan shows that it is normal now, will you be continuing this medication?

Despite the NIH saying that this is common, I would suggest that you at least bring this up to your primary care doctors attention in case they feel that it may be a sign of something related to your cyst.

I hope this information helps.

I had a cesarean baby in Aug. Still my period has not started, so i had taken novelon for 9 days (i.e. from 26 dec to 3rd jan). Now I want to know when my period will start because we have plans for a long journey on january 11th and I want my period to finish before that. Please advise.
