Accepted Answer

is the result of the hormonal therapy: should end 7-10 days after stopping the Norethedrone.

Question 2

I'm anemic, have heavy periods, mom had breast cancer. gyno gave me norethindrone & said it didn't have estrogen so wouldnt cause cancer. is that true?

Accepted Answer

First, progesterones, which Norethindrone is one, is associated with increase risk in breast cancer (i would not state causing it).  Risk is more so in women using during postmenopause and for prolonged periods.  Actually, estrogen use by itself remains controversial as a risk factor for breast cancer. If your anemia is due to very heavy periods, a limited course of hormonal manipulation can help.

Question 3

I am taking aygestin (norethnidrone). started with 5 mg daily. had spotting to light bleeding. dr increased to 10 mg daily. still having bleeding. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

What is the indication and if you take it for irregular menses or menorrhagia, have you had a thorough work-up for ruling out other causes? Progesterone is only indicated if your bleeding is due to hormonal imbalance and progesterone may initially slow the bleeding down but not stop it right away.

Question 4

Will norethindrone increase my chances of a blood clots?

Accepted Answer

Synthetic progesterones like noethindrone ("progestins") can increase your risk of blood clots though this risk is very small.

Question 5

Does norethindrone.35mg increase blood clot risk ?

Accepted Answer

Norethindrone is a progestin, and while clotting is increased in frequency over no hormone external usage, it is less likely than combination bcp's in causing clotting disorders.

Question 6

My periods are prolonged and im obese. my doctor wants me to take norethindrone 5mg to stop the bleeding for 3 weeks a month and one week off for a few months while i lose weight. does norethindrone increase blood clot risk ?

Accepted Answer

For your doctor wanted to take this medications to decrease the lining in the uterus . You probably have PCOS which is causing a regular for you. And at times heavy bleeding you also need to decrease your weight as your weight is actually causing you an increased risk from blood clots

Question 7

What is the breakthrough ovulation rate when taking nortrel (norethindrone/ethynl estradiol 1/35) consistently and with perfect use?

Accepted Answer

If you are very consistent taking the bcp the pg rate is only 1 to 2% at the very most. Of course if you are taking other meds or antibiotics the pill absorption is affected and increases the failure rate.

Question 8

How do i ask my gynocologist for aygestin (norethindrone)?

Accepted Answer

Just ask - but have in mind an explanation for why you want it, and be prepared to listen to the answer if he/she disagrees.

Question 9

Can i take norethindrone 0.35 with lisinop/htcz 20-25?

Accepted Answer

May use these together.

Question 10

What do you advise if i started taking micronor (norethindrone) and i've bled for three weeks and countingshould i try a new pill?

Accepted Answer

I would recommend that you try to stick with the Micronor (norethindrone) or a few more weeks or even a month if you can.  Often it takes time for the body to adjust to Micronor (norethindrone).  If you switch now, it could lead to even longer irregularity
