Taken Norethisterone After Periods Started. Will This Mess Up My Cycle?
Question: Hi i started my period 6 days ago but started to take norethisterone and still have some sort of period will this mess up my cycle?
hi,
Thanks for the query.
norehisterone is a progesterone which used in cases of progesterone deficiency and in postponing periods,
as you took tablets after establishment of menstruation the tablets possibly failed in stopping the bleeding completely may be because of that you are having spotting,
as by using external hormones you interfered with normal menstrual cycle it will usually change the regularity of menstrual cycle to some extent,
so possibly there may be withdrawal bleeding after 4 to 5 days of stopping the pills or your periods may get delayed,
this irregularity is generally short lived and regular cycles will return soon.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
