Brief Answer:
Norethisterone pill should be started as directed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for your updated information.

I can suggest you to take Norethisterone pill (5 mg) thrice daily from tomorrow morning to stop or arrest your ongoing bleeding as you don't get your period properly.

It will be safest way to avoid your period as you want to attend the family function on 22nd XXXXXXX and there will be NO mess up.

You should continue the pill until you complete the function and you can get period like withdrawal bleeding within 3 to 7 days. Maintain genital hygiene properly.

Hope, I have answered your query. Good luck and take care.

Will there be any side effects by using that medicine in the next month mensus

I have one more small query...2 months back I had a problem during mensus...for first 4 days bleeding was very little...but after 4 days bleeding was heavy and it lasted for more than 10 days...10 days I was having heavy bleeding...can you please say me any solution if same situation occurs again...please

Brief Answer:
Side effects are well tolerated.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for your follow up query.

1) Side effects are well tolerated. You may face irregular bleeding or spotting for 1-2 cycles due to hormonal imbalance. However, they will overcome with the time period. Don't be worried.

2) If you face above type of period bleeding just in one cycle, then it is nothing significant much.

Hormonal changes are the main reason. Stress, over weight, old blood etc are associated factors. Give me feedback if problem persists. Maintain genital hygiene properly.

Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care.
