Hi shirley100. Sorry to hear that you are having some side effects taking norethisterone. What you are describing is pretty well the “norm”. Some women feel bloated and get headaches and even feel sick whilst on the drug. Hopefully, all will settle down and you won’t get any further side effects. I wish you well with your cycle of treatment. Diane
