A member asked:
When someone takes notrthinedrone to stop heavy bleeding what happens to the blood and uterine lining if the bleding is stopped before the period would have normally ended ? does the blood just stay in the uterus ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Norethindrone has the following mechanisms: it suppresses ovulation, thickens cervical mucus (which inhibits sperm penetration), alters follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations, slows the movement of ovum through the fallopian tubes, and alters the endometrial lining. In theory, it probably prolongs the follicular stage and shortens the luteal phase.
