I've been really concerned since my partner started taking cerazette for birth control. She's had this persistent lower abdomen pain that's off and on but it's definitely noticeable. It's been a month now, and not only is she experiencing a lot of pain, but also there's spotting and she hasn't gotten her regular period. Is this normal?
