Does micronor (norethindrone) help perimenopause?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Doubtful: Micronor (norethindrone) is a Progesterone only birth control pill. As such it would not be effective at regulation the cycle. It would not offer any support for the falling estrogen levels associated with the perimenopause.
