Question 1

i am 35 years with pcos i was asked to take primolut n to induce my period and clomid for ovulation. i have low progesterone level as well. is the combination safe for me?

Accepted Answer

: A progestin is given (Primolut N) to induce shedding of thickened endometrial lining (withdrawal bleeding, not a post-ovulatory "period"), and Clomid for ovulation induction.  At 35, it might be useful to also ask for a hysterosalpingogrom  (HSG) to ensure tubal patency, which even with induced ovulation is the most common cause of infertility.

Question 2

hi dr, i've taken primolut for 7 days and it's been almost 6 days after and no sign of period yet. i have pcos and don't ovulate and have been trying ?

Accepted Answer

Primolut: Is used to regulate erratic periods in PCOS.  If you are trying to ovulate/become fertile this may not be quite the right option.  This problem would be best sorted out in a consult with a GP or gynaecologist licensed in Australia but here is some Australian-specific general information on treatment options

Question 3

is it safe to take primolut and clomid to help in ovulation during secondary amenorrhea caused by post birth control?

Accepted Answer

: This is a conversation to have with your prescribing doctor. Risk of medication use depends on various factors (medical history, medications, allergies, etc). Without knowing anything about you, it is not possible to give you a personalized answer

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Very minimal: 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 5

how effective is micronor (norethindrone) if i am ovulating and getting normal periods but take pill same time each day?

Accepted Answer

Micronor (norethindrone): Ortho micronor (norethindrone) (http://www.Drugs.Com/cdi/ortho-micronor.Html) is a progestin-only birth control pill that requires much stricter attention to timing of dose, such as you describe. Under those conditions, it is a very effective form of contraception by preventing ovulation. Some women still get normal periods while on pill but that doesn't imply they're ovulating.

Question 6

i read about a pill called norethindrone thats used to help regulate periods and ovulation. could you  just tell me a bit about it and if it would hel?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I don't recommend people use the internet to induce periods or ovulation.  There are life-threatening risks to doing so yourself.

Norethindrone is a progestin (synthetic progesterone).

Question 7

i missed 3 pills of micronor (norethindrone) during my period;  will i likely ovulate right away?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: Micronor (norethindrone) is a progestin-only (single ingredient) minipill. It is hard to tell if a woman taking Micronor (norethindrone) every day actually ovulates or not. This pill works in other ways to prevent pregnancy. She is probably more likely to ovulate if she is missing pills. If she misses some pills, she can use condoms for the next 2 days (if having sex)... while also taking the Micronor (norethindrone) every day.

Question 8

does starting norethindrone after ovulation delay your period?

Accepted Answer

Menstrual period: Starting any hormonal medication after or before ovulation can have an effect on your next menstrual cycle. Norethindrone is a component of most oral contraceptives, so it will definitively affect your period.

Question 9

is norethindrone a reliable birth control when used at the same time daily with no missed pills even if you still ovulate on the pill?

Accepted Answer

: No. An egg can be fertilized. The goal of BCP is to stop you from ovulating at all. When this fails you can become pregnant.

Question 10

how is it that that might prevent my wife from ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Fertility: Age, elevated prolactin, pcos. If she is concerned she should be seen for an evaluation.
