hi iv been given norethisterone for bleeding and spotting for six months im suposed to take it three times a day. i havnt started yet as im unsure wether to take it yet.

iv had scans done and hystoroscopy and biopsys i have a thickened womb of 15 mm and dr says im fine so im suposed

y not got cancer, i was offerd a coul i declined and then given this pill. has any one on here bled like me and it finaly stoped on its own with out intervention? i do t know what to do, has anyone taken this pill and it worked and how long did you take it for and how many a day. is it good to take just this homone alone and not balance it with another? and i had an operation a few months ago for something else and im worried about clots if i take it.

    I would take it as the doctor has prescribed, at least until you see them again. you need to check youre not anaemic aswell, so make an appointment and discuss all your fears with the doctor. I have a lovely doctor who will listen and seems to understand the problems as she is only a couple of years older than me. I went and discussed what the consultant had said to me with her about staying on the tablets without a break and she agreed that at the moment it seems to be the best option for me. It is such a distressing time as all the bleeding just doesnt seem normal and the more you google the worse it is

      D,

      As someone has said in this forum, we are not doctors. You should take the pill as prescribed and make an appointment to see your doctor asap to relay any concerns. Good luck.
