The most common reasons for prescribing a progestin-only pill instead of a combination Birth Control pill are cigarette smoking over age 35, history of migraine with aura or other focal neurological symptoms, breastfeeding a child under 6 months, a history of lupus with positive or unknown anticardiolipin antibody status, or a history of extra sensitivity to estrogen in the birth control pill (with severe nausea, water weight gain, or melasma, for instance).

Can norethisterone make your period come?

No, not quite.Norethisterone is a progesterone pill, most commonly it's used to delay menstruation by preventing the progesterone drop that would normally trigger menstruation. Once you stop taking the pills the drop in progesterone triggers menstruation. If used when not due to menstruate the progesterone drop may trigger a withdrawal bleed (not menstruation) similar to what a person would experience on the combination pill when going from active to placebo pills.
