Decapeptyl and norethisterone together

[KimG21]

Hello - I’m into my seventh week of the decapeptyl treatment to shrink fibroids. I was having profuse bleeding so I was out back into norethisterone which has stopped the bleeding. My gynaecologist is brilliant however is this strange that it’s ok to take norethisterone since it’s a hormone and they are shutting the hormones down? I’m getting very mixed reviews and that fibroids more feed off estrogen, however other research says that progesterone contributes to their growth also… I keep trying to not panic and truth the gynae as surely she wouldn’t allow me to have her norethisterone if it prevented the fibroid shrinking.. has anyone else had this?
