Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
It is not a rule that while on Cerazette you should NOT be having periods at ALL.
Cerazette often causes a period that is very scanty and only consists of brownish spotting such as the one you have described.
So please do not worry.
The period would be accompanied by mild pain also, which is normal.
Continue taking Cerazette as has been instructed to you and do not worry.
All the best.
