A member asked:
I have had a period for 5 weeks, i was given northestrone or something like that, have been off them for 3days and am bleeding again, why?.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is expected: Often, after certain conditions are excluded (blood tests and sometimes a sonogram), this medicine, which is a type of pregesterone, is given to cause the entire uterine lining to shed at once. If it was determined that this was appropriate, you will likely have another "period" after quitting the medicine, and then go back to having regular periods in the future.
