Trying To Conceive. On Clomid. Given Norethindrone For Periods. How Long Will It Take To Act?
I have been trying to conceive for nine months. Md gave me 50 mg of clomid to make me ovulate earlier because I was ovulating late in my cycle. On clomid I didn't get an lh surge when I tested. Now on day 43 of my cycle with 2 negative pregnancy tests. Was given norethindrone to start my period. I've taken it for seven days with no results. How soon should I expect it to start?

Dear user, welcome to healthcare magic.
We expect menstruation from 2-7 days after the injection. So if seven days have passed, you should try something else. I suggest using Oral tablets containing norethisterone in a dose of 10-20 mg per day for five days and wait for withdrawal bleeding.
Anyway, we should search for the endocrinological abnormality causing this by having these tests done at day 2 menstruation:FSH, LH, TSH, E2 and prolactin.
I hope these words were useful and I wish you good luck.
