View 1 RepliesI got married two years back and since then I have been experiencing irregular periods and acne. How much time do the hormones take to settle down after marriage?
View 1 RepliesI was prescribed norethisterone yesterday after not having a period for a year.
I have polycystic ovaries (diagnosed in june), and came off my pill with the intention of starting a family, i am slightly worried because reading the posts on this site it seems that everyone else has been put on norethisterone because of heavy and painful periods.
I have been on implanon for 2.5 years. During this time I had more periods than normal. Due to going on holiday I decided that I would ask doctor to help delay in.
I was prescribed 3 weeks of norethisterone and took it three times a day as directed.
I was told my period should come 2/3 days after I finished the course... Although six weeks later I still have no sign of my period and have pregnancy symptoms such as sore breasts, cramping,bloating, hot flushes, increased discharge and fatigue. Have taken a pregnancy test and it is negative.
What is going on. Has anyone else been in this situation. I am worried sick.
I am currently taking oxytetracycline to help to reduce a persistent problem I have been having with spots and boils. I have noticed some improvement. In a couple of months I am due to go on holiday and my period is due while I am away. My periods can be really painful and leave me feeling faint for several days. I will be spending a long time travelling so having to go through my period on holiday would be a nightmare. In the past I have used Norethisterone to delay the period successfully with no problems. However I have been advised by my doctor and the pharmacist that I should not take these two drugs at the same time and I don't know what to do. I do not need to use the drug as a contraceptive merely to delay my period. I don't really want to come off the antibiotics for the sake of a holiday but will absolutely dread going if I cannot find a way to delay my period.
View 1 RepliesI am nearly 53 and am anxiously waiting for the menopause. I have been diagnosed with fibroids. I started a period at the end of January and it carried on for 11 weeks with haemorrhages and huge clots. During this time I became anaemic and I have been unable to work since the middle of April. On 24th April I was fitted with a Mirena coil. I have had constant bleeding (though not as heavy as before) and abdominal discomfort ever since. The discomfort has kept me awake at night.
Last week the GP told me to take 3 norethisterone tablets a day to stop the bleeding. This worked at first and the bleeding stopped. I became very bloated though, and today the bleeding has started again. My whole life is dominated by this. I don't know what to do next. I can have a hysterectomy in October - but that's not something I relish!
Has anyone any words of encouragement?
I'm 33 and have uterine fibroids for which I have been taking norethisterone to stop my heavy, prolonged periods. On the advice of my GP I took a break from the tablet, but she gave me a supply in case I desperately needed them. She told me not to take any more for a while as I wouldn't know if the mini-pill (which I was prescribed 2 months ago) was working to regulate my periods and shrink the fibroids. I have started my period now and it's been going on for over a week. I'm in pain, it's heavy and clotting and my moods are all over the place, I'm tired all of the time and I can't go out for too long for fear of flooding. It's affecting my work and my relationship as I feel unattractive and sad all of the time. When I was taking norethisterone I didn't get any of these problems.
View 1 RepliesI was prescribed this medication to stop my periods whilst I was waiting to have a hysterectomy. It has made me very depressed and I have started to retain fluid, my tummy is very swollen and at times I have felt sick and extremely irritable and aggressive, however my periods stopped straight away, so for the interim it is worth coping with the side effects.
View 2 RepliesI was prescribed norethisterone by my gp, after I went to see her with periods lasting 2 weeks, this started within a year of me being sterilised at the age of 40.
Since taking them I have experienced bad skin, spots, no mood changes,but most of all I have gained over half a stone in 5 months, i have always watched what I eat and still do, I cant seem to move a pound. I am stopping the tablets today, to see if my periods have sorted themselves out, I will be interested to see if the weight comes off, Has anyone who gained weight with these tablets, lost the weight when they stopped.
Ill will keep you posted to see if my weight does return, and what affects I have after coming off them.
I got the Norethisterone pill to delay my period for a 2 week holiday. The holiday got cut short due to family issue but we are going on a short break in 2 days for 4 days. I stopped taking the pill when I got back from the holiday 4 days ago but started taking it again last night to try and delay my period while we go away again however today I have experienced some bleeding. Is it now too late? Will I get my period even if I take the pills?
View 1 RepliesI took norethisterone for the 1st time last month to delay my period, & I was very happy, worked brilliantly, no adverse effects. I'm now just wondering when I should expect my 1st proper period after the one I had when I came off the drug. Can anyone who's had experience of using it in this way tell me whether it should be just a normal 28-30 day type thing or whether it might come early. I'm just a bit concerned, because I've got my birthday party, which is 24 days from the one I had when coming off Norethisterone & I don't want to be bleeding then. :- Will I be ok or should I get another course for this month?
View 1 RepliesIn july i was on a course of norethisterone for just over a week to delay my period during my holiday. After I stopped taking the pills I came on my period 3 days later, which was extremely painful, but lighter than my usual periods. This month, my period is almost 2 weeks late... I haven't had unprotected sex, so there's not a big chance that i'm pregnant.. i will be taking a test, to make sure, but i'm just wondering if the progesterone pills i was taking could be the cause of my messed up periods?
View 1 RepliesWhat's the possibility of me getting pregnant if my husband and I have sex almost every night from the moment my period stops until the next month when my period starts?
View 1 RepliesI lost my virginity saturday night,(Using a condom.)and should have had my period that next Monday-Tuesday, but I never did. I am slightly worried that I might be pregnant. Seeing as I am almost a week late.
Am I overreacting? Or should I give it a little longer?
We have had sex 2-3 time more since Saturday also.(Using a condom every time.) I was wondering if it is possible that since it was my first time that it would make my period late. Like maybe a stretch of the vagina or something. I also heard that It could be because of stress or being scared of being pregnant. That that would also make it slightly late.
So my questions was...
Can my period be late because it was my first time?
i am getting light periods since 2 months after having first time sex and i am also trying to conceive..before that my periods were regular...i don't knw what is happening?
just before my period started this month my breast was lyk painting n my back n legs were also paining....
I'm 18. When I was 15, I had sex for the first time, and not too long ago after that, I started missing my period. I just assumed they were associated with each other. The first time I missed my period, I had missed it for 4 months. I thought I was pregnant, but I wasn't. There were a few other times that I missed my period for a few months at a time but didn't worry about it. The longest I've gone without my period is 6 months. The last time I had my period was the beginning of November, so I'm about 2 months late right now. I hear birth control helps, but I can't buy any or see a doctor because if I use my card for that stuff, my parents can look on my account and start to question (because they don't even know I've had sex). I'm trying to make it to where they're the last people to EVER find out about any of this, so I'm just looking for some explanation or advice from anyone but them.
View 1 Repliesit was my 1st time,and an unprotected one...my dates are near in 2-3 days but i took unwanted-72 to prevent any chances of pregnancy. is it safe and i'll get my periods on time or it may be delayed?
View 8 RepliesI'm living in a country where it's hard to get the contraceptive pill (Japan). I brought some with me but have almost run out, which doesn't really bother me as I am not sexually active and don't plan to be any time soon. In a few months I will go on a vacation and I really don't want to have my period while on vacation. If I save the remaining pills (seven), would it be okay to take these before the vacation to ensure I won't get my period? Is it safe to take the pill for only 7 days as a once-off, and if so is there a specific time before the vacation I should take them?
View 1 RepliesWhy is it that I can have such a hard time starting a stream when visiting the toilet during the night (after having been asleep for several hours) and have little problem during the daytime when awake and alert? As I see it this has less to do with BPH than with mind/body connections.
