Can One Expect Regular Periods After Taking Norethindrone And Ethinyl Estradiol?

I got my iud (mirena) removed on 5/2/17. I had it since 10/2017 but after 2months into it my cycles were lasting for two weeks non stop. After I got the iud removed on 5/2 my cycle began pretty much the next day Wednesday- 5/3..On that same day at 1pm i began taking Norethindrone Acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets with ferrous fumarate chewable tablets (1mg/ 20mcg). I take the BC everyday at 1pm. My question is counting the days from when I started the pills ,when next month in June should I expect my cycle...would it be during the brown tablets...before...or after them. I m going away on vacation and would like to have an idea.. Thank you.

Hello,

Yes. These are combination pills that contain both these hormones and if taken regularly in a 21-day cycle and 7-day pill free period then you will have regular periods.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
