A member asked:
What is norethisterone and can i use it for heavy long periods caused from my copper iud?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Progestin: It is a progestin, which is similar to the Progesterone you produce after ovulation. It keeps the lining from growing, and can actually significantly thin it, reducing bleeding. It may help with your heavy periods.
