Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Birth control: If you only took one day of birth control pills then it is not likely that this would affect your period. I would clarify with the doctor doing your surgery what they want you to do about any medications you are taking before you stop them on your own.

My periods are prolonged and Im obese. My doctor wants me to take norethindrone 5mg to stop the bleeding for 3 weeks a month and one week off for a few months while I lose weight. Does norethindrone increase blood clot risk ?
