Question 1

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 2

if norethindrone 5mg is given for a ten days a month for prolonged periods. does that mean only ten days out of the month you dont have your period ? what is suppose to happen?

Accepted Answer

: The use of progestins or progesterone for "10 days a month" will generally control excessive growth of endometrial tissue in women who do not ovulate regularly.  At "33 years of age", you are not statistically "pre-menopausal", so get a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist for an assessment of your ovulatory status.

Question 3

how long does your period last on nor qd (norethindrone) mini pill?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Some women will not have periods at all, some will have intermittent bleeding and/or spotting, and some will have almost constant spotting with any Progesterone only birth control such as nor qd (norethindrone)..

Question 4

will taking aygestin (norethindrone) stop me from having a period?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Some women don't bleed on it while some do and others have constant bleeding -- it varies. The dose matters, too.

Question 5

was taking utovlan 1 tablet a day to delay period but light bleeding has started now so i took 4 in one day, period hasnt stopped. how do i stop?

Accepted Answer

2-6 weeks: hormonal bleeding may take up to 4 weeks to resolve. Taking 4 pills in one day will certainly cause bleeding and you must wait up to 2-6 weeks to stop after discontinuing hormonsal therapy.

Question 6

i'm on nexplanon, went 2 months without a period and now i've been bleeding for 6 weeks. is it normal? can i take norethindrone to stop the bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Any bleeding pattern is normal for Nexplanon. Nortthindrone will not work. An Estrogen tablet or patch will work.

Question 7

when  i m on ortho micronor (norethindrone)  will  my period  stop  completely  if i take  it the  same time every day?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone only: Progesterone only contraception have as the major side effect abnormal bleeding.  This could mean anything from bleeding every day to no bleeding at all. The bleeding pattern is patient dependant and varies widely.

Question 8

spotting started yesterday, 4 th week on micronor, (norethindrone) is this my period or breakthrough bleeding? should i stop taking the pill so i can get my period?

Accepted Answer

Don't stop: Bleeding on micronor (norethindrone) is breakthrough bleeding. Stopping micronor (norethindrone) are likely to make the breakthrough bleeding worse. If the breakthrough bleeding becomes intolerable, an alternative birth control method may need to be considered.

Question 9

i started my period. i am not currently taking birth control, but i have norethindrone 5mg from before. can i take norethindrone to stop the bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Sure, may not work: Once you have started your regular period, it is difficult to stop it. Hormones such as norethindrone are used to alleviate heavy irregular bleeding, but in higher doses. This too, may not always work, or it may take some time to work.

Question 10

i used norethindrone to stop my period for vacation. my dr prescribed the annovera ring for me to help with heavy bleeding during my period. how soon can i insert the ring? should i wait until im done taking the norethindrone?

Accepted Answer

: You can insert the annovera ring and then stop the pills the next day. However, best to discuss with your doctor that you are doing this.
