Not sure as not heard of someone staying on it - I went on the combined pill which kept the weight in check and took 3 months on the trot
Weight usually fluctuates when on a period so if you’ve had a prolonged period it might just be the hormones knocking you off balance
I'm on norethisterone due to heavy prolonged periods 3 months I'm on it for back to back to see if it can help regulate my cycles but tbh its helped with stopping my periods but the weight gain is a problem as idk if its actual weight gain or water weight gain I've gained 8lbs and tbh I dont eat much due to extreme bloating I get and it's always been small portions daily the weight gain always happens when I take norethisterone I hate it but I hope I can lose it once I come off it after 12th feb
