Hi I’m taking norethisterone to try and induce my period a little earlier as I didn’t want to take it for the whole period of time I was away so I wanted it to start earlier. I only started taking it on Monday - if I stop it today, will my period come in around three days?
I don’t know if 4 days is enough to have kicked the pill in if that makes Sense. Thanks!
I didn't know norethisterone was to induce periods - I thought it was usually used to stop menses from happening - and usually needs to be taken for at least a week to do so. Also when you stop it , you will have a withdrawal bleed.
It’s to delay it. But I know when I stop taking it, I usually bleed 3 days after it. 🤔 if I need to take it for a week - maybe I should just carry on taking it then until end of the trip. But I was due on technically until the week after next
Well there is no harm in continuing it until you have completed your trip. Then you will have a bleed , likely within several days of taking it. Your normal menstrual pattern will resume over time.
Hmm okay! So I’ll be taking it for about 15-17 days more, that will be okay won’t it? I won’t get side effects from taking it for too long?
Also thank you☺️
Hmm having some upload issues. Progestogens can cause mood and libido changes, breast tenderness, vaginal dryness, acne on occasions. Bu this is a relatively short course. Remember its not a contraceptive on its own.
and you are welcome 
🤔 I’m a bit annoyed that I started taking it so early 😂 I wanted to try and have the period before the trip so I didn’t need to worry about taking it three times a day for two weeks but that’s backfired 🤦🏻♀️ should’ve waited but I would’ve likely forgotten to have started taking it in time. My boobs definitely feel a bit tender 🤦🏻♀️
Yes, Not a contraceptive I’ll remember!
I've been on norethisterone for 3.5 months now straight back 2 back but I'm for somehow experiencing some bleeding like spotting I've never had this at all while been on norethisterone and it's just came about on thursday gone! I take 3 tablets 3 times a day also so no idea where this spotting or bleed has come from
I would ask why your are taking a prolonged course of norethisterone ? To stop excessive menstrual bleeding ?
It's because I'm going for an endometrial elaboration some time this year and my gyne put me on the norethisterone to give me respite
I think its ablation. I wouldn't be surprised of unscheduled bleeding in this situation, progestogens can cause this. In addition, you are having heavy bleeding , so some breakthrough would be possible.
