Norethisterone stopped working

2 Replies

Hi first if all I didn't know I had endo until after a year of agony and an OP to remove left ovary and 90% of right ovary. Was then on Nore for 8 years, doc suggested I come off to see if menopausal, I'm 48. No period for 10 months, then a period last Dec and then Feb 16 so due to pain and obviously not menopause I started back on Nore, BUT I have been bleeding ever since. Sometimes a small amount but this last week has been another period! No idea what us going on, waiting for blood results of FH levels, docs not really helpful.

Hi thanks for your reply. I am in Airdrie, close to Glasgow and Edinburgh. The doctor today suggests to stay on the Nore and have a blood test on Monday! Seems pointless to me as I totally understand the Nore affecting the hormone levels. I haven't had any problems or pain etc until I came off the Nore and periods began in December. Reading other posts I feel very fortunate but I like to know and understand what is going on with my body and the GP doesn't seem to have a clue!

Hi Lindle, I submitted a reply but I think I posted to my original post rather than yours, did you see it?
