My Period Has Just Started Before Its Due Date. Will Norethisterone Stop The Period?
Hi, my doctor gave me Norethisterone as I am peri-menopausal and I am also going away from New Zealand to Australia on a romantic holiday, leaving tomorrow morning. My period was due on Monday so he advised me to begin taking Norethisterone on Friday - three days before it was due. My period has just started before it s due date - what do I do? Will Norethisterone stop the period?

Hope this answers your question.
