A member asked:

Does starting norethindrone after ovulation delay your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menstrual period: Starting any hormonal medication after or before ovulation can have an effect on your next menstrual cycle. Norethindrone is a component of most oral contraceptives, so it will definitively affect your period.
