Nur Isterate

I have used nur isterate for less than 9 months and I stopped but it has been 7months since I had a normal menstrual cycle. How long does it take to get a normal cycle? I'm really worried that I might not be able to conceive in future! ## Hello, Gonste! How are you? What problems were you experiencing with your cycle? Did you just not have it? Was it irregular? And no, hormonal contraceptives don't cause permanent fertility problems. ## I took nur-isterate on the 1st of October and took the next dose on the 30th of November... Is it still effective or do I have to wait for 14 days again before having unprotected intercourse?

Got my 1st nuristerate injection in June, a day after taking a morning after pill. Could I be pregnant? ## Hello, Stebu! Hope you are doing well. If you engaged in intercourse, without using some form of protection, yes there is a risk of pregnancy, even though you took the pill and then received this injection. Not a very high one, though, it's a very slight risk. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this contraceptive as possibly including irregular bleeding, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have being using Nur-Isterate for 4 months but I stopped taking it and still didn't see my period. Could I be pregnant? ## I have used a nuristerate injection for only a month. The next needle is due in May. I had unprotected i...

I use nur isterate since 2010. Lately I have some menopause simptoms. I am 43. What else can I use as contraception?

Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. There are other contraceptives you can use, such as condoms, or spermicides. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I've been on nur - isterate for 26 years. I am 46 years old and started spotting the last 4 years on and off.

You mentioned that you're eating healthy, but I would just add that a healthy diet is only one crucial ingredient in a successful weight loss regimen. I hope you have managed to m...

Hi, I recently started the nur-isterate injection. I had my first injection late august and my due day to get it again is next week. I have unprotected intercourse due to being protected and it being more spontaneous in the moment. I have been experiencing breast pain and nausea the last week. I'm not sure if it's the nur-isterate wearing off or symptoms of me having stopped smoking. I stopped smoking about two weeks ago. I stopped smoking because I was sick and wasn't getting better even after being on antibiotics. Any advice if it's possible for me to be pregnant or just symptoms from having stopped smoking? ## Hello, Laura! Those are not typical symptoms of having stopped smoking. It is most likely due to the injection wearing off, but there is also a chance that it m...

I have been on pills before for like 8 months and my periods were normal and then I switched to Nur-isterate for 8 weeks. Then I stopped taking, I would like to know how long does Nur-isterate take to stay in the system and how soon can I get pregnant? ## How long has your doctor advised you to wait? It can vary from person to person, so there is no definitive answer I can give you.

In most cases, doctors advise that you wait until your cycles return to normal, before trying to become pregnant, but you should always follow their advice, even if they've advised otherwise.
