Norethisterone 5mg Dose To Induce Period? (Top voted first)

Updated

I have not had a cycle since having my son a year ago. I also have PCOS.

I have taken 5mg Norethisterone tablets 3 times a day for 5 days. It has been 3 days now and although I had period pains on the last day of the tablets I have no signs of my period arriving.

Do you think my dose was high enough?

Many thanks.

I took Norethisterone to delay my periods from 23 feb to 26 feb... My expected period date was 26 feb.... As of writing this (10 march) I still have not gotten my menstrual cycle. Is this normal after stopping the medication?

Hello, Lucy! How are you? Is that the dose your doctor advised you to take?

Generally, missing your periods isn't a problem, unless you're trying to get pregnant again, so it's not anything to worry about.

However, most women do get their periods about 3 days, or so, after stopping it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms.

Are you on any other medications?

Its not true that 'missing periods is not a problem' and in fact os quite dangerous. You should have at least 3 periods a year to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer (unless you are taking a pill which has progesterone in it)

I also take metformin along with prenatal vitamins.

It is a problem as I have been trying to get pregnant for 10 months now. I have not ovulated since December 2014.

It has now been 11 days since my last tablet. Is it safe to assume it will not work now?

I have heard that no period after being induced could be due to low estrogen. I have ordered some estrogen cream. How many days should I use this before trying a longer dose of norethisterone?
