Norethindrone birth control pill side effects?Anyone have spotting or period twice in one month?

Question

I am a ftm.Son is 2 and a half months old.I was prescribe the mini pill called norethindrone.
I am breastfeeding and formula feeding. Since taking the mini pill I noticed my milk supply has decreased. My breast don't leak or get full anymore. Also my period returned October 15th. It lasted for 7 days as usual. But then on October 30.I was in the shower and I noticed I was bleeding. It was more like spoting.Like when you period it starting to come .I think it's to early for my period to come again this soon.I wonder if the pill is making me spot or making me have two periods in the same month. What has anyone experience been with taking the mini pill?Did you continue or stop taking it because of the side effects?Did anyone experience hair shedding while taking the pill?idk, if I am having post postpartum shedding or it's from the pill. The shedding begin last Sunday when I washed my hair.

Answer

I guess I’m on some form of progestin only birth control called Slynd. It only has 4 placebo pills. I had migraines on the combo pill. 
This is my second pack and I’m about to finish my second week and I’ve been bleeding for almost 7 days straight. Like a full blown period. I’m so pissed off. I just bled for 6 weeks after delivery and other than preventing pregnancy, I take birth control to KNOW when my period is. 
Called the doctor and they said it’s normal and continue because if I switch, it’ll likely happen again. They told me it usually subsides and regulates after 3 months on the same pill. I’m going to wait it out and if it keeps happening, I don’t know what I’ll do. 
I know we aren’t on the same pill, but I hope it gives you some insight.

I didn’t take the mini pill this time. I went straight to the copper IUD. But with my last daughter I did and I bled for 8 weeks straight. And when I say I was bleeding I bled like freshly butchered pig. I would step out of the shower and the whole floor would be covered in blood within seconds. I called my doctor eventually cause it was just getting more and more. Plus, my supply dropped. Needless to say I had to switch birth control

I'm EBF and have have not seen a drop since going on mini pill. Been on it for 6 weeks. No bleeding or spotting.

Answer

I only took it for about 9-10 days but it dropped my supply drastically. I went from pumping 2-3oz per boob to about 1/2oz if I was lucky. My son also became frustrated at the breast because he was struggling to get milk out. I stopped the pill and did lots of nursing and pumping to get my supply back. It returned in about 5 days or so. Didn’t have any spotting or other side effects.
