Hi,
Yes. After stopping your progesterone pills heavy bleeding is a common phenomenon as there occurs a condition called withdrawal bleeding. I would suggest you to start a course of tranaxemic acids (500mg) along with norethisterone tablets 5mg for 5 days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
