No period after stop Norethisterone

I was on Norethisterone for 14 days and supposed to have a "heavy and painful period" before my baseline scan. That did not happen. Tomorrow is my scan and I had no period at all.

Does anyone knows what does that mean? Am I going to be able to start the injections?

How long has it been since you stopped taking the norethisterone? It took a few days after I stopped taking it before my period came. xxx

My last one was on Wednesday, so today is my 4th day without it.

Every little thing is making me so nervous.

I think my doctor said it could take up to 10 days after stopping for your period to come so hopefully it will arrive soon. It never seems to show up when you want it too! xxx

Thank you! Did you start with injections anyway? I should start with Injections on Tuesday.

I was taking it so that I could start Clomid. With that I had to wait for my period. Not sure about injections.

Hope you get some answers at you scan. xxx

Hi Kirsty! My scan still went ahead and yes my period arrived the nite after the scan 🙈 think it just likes to make us worry! I was able to do everything on plan that was arranged! If it doesn’t show before the date of starting stims it will just be adjusted so don’t worry. Xx

Mine was over a week later than it should have been, I guess Norethisterone doesn’t always work as planned. They just scanned me and took bloods and said not to worry as my period was just about to start. I’d say don’t worry, but I did. It arrived the day after the scan x
