Question 4

hi , is it normal to have slight periods like pain while using primolut-n 5mg twice a day or should i increase the dose?

Accepted Answer

Prob not  related: Cramps are not a typical side effect. You should not change, adjust or alter the medication without discussing it with the doctor who gave it to you. I would look for other causes of cramping as it is not likely related to Progesterone pills.

Question 5

will norethindrone increase my chances of a blood clots?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

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 7

took primolut n for 10d (11th-20th june 2021), bled from 24th-29th, medium flow. i have pcod. still any chance that i'm pregnant? my hairfall has suddenly increased to a great extent, and lower abdomen cramps. does withdrawal bleed rule out pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: With documented PCOS, it is unlikely for pregnancy to occur with the information described.  Taking Primolut with expected post treatment bleeding is normal, and generally rules out pregnancy.  Obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy, and ask your gyn about low dose oral bcps, which is the appropriate treatment for PCOS until pregnancy may be desired.

Question 8

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

Obesity greater risk: 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 9

need doctor's help! will micronor (norethindrone) birth control increase your breast size?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Probably not.  Increased breast size, (and tenderness), is usually a side effect of estrogens.  Micronor (norethindrone) doesn't have any estrogens.

Question 10
