Will norethisterone affects the date of your next period?

Posted , 44 users are following.

I was on norethisterone last month till the 20th Aug and my period came on the 22nd Aug. My period has not come ever since and it has been 41 days since the start of my previous period. Is anyone experiencing the same thing too? I hope I am not the only one.

    I'm so glad other people are having the same problem...i took the same thing to delay my period for a 3 day festival. I stopped taking the pills and came on my period 2 days later. I haven't been on since and i'm now 10 days late! How long did it take everyone else for their second one to come? I'm so scared! :o/ Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

    Hello,

    I wouldn't worry it's normal for it to mess up your system. Mine was 4 weeks late and then the next period

    Was back to normal.

    I was worrying too but for nothing smile

    Hi, I am experiencing the same thing now. I took the tablets for 3 weeks, came on 4 days after i took the last tablet and now I am 5 days late for my next period... if I have worked it out right which I am confident I have as I was regular as clockwork before now.

    Can I ask has anyone experienced usual period symptoms around the time they were due on even though the period didnt come? Ive had slight belly ache, feeling hot/temp and emotional for a week which is all normal the day before i am due on and in the first couple of days of my period... just no period!

    Any help of advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks smile

    Hello there smile

    Try not to worry as it seems to be really common with these pills. I still had all the symptoms of aches, pains and moods but no period. I came on 2 weeks after I was due and the pains were pretty bad even for me. Usually I'm like clockwork but the pills seem to have messed my body up a bit. As per above, do a test if you're really worried but I'm sure it will come in time. I know it's easier said than done not to worry...as I was shi**ing myself! Haha! Good luck!! smile x

    Hi, just wondering if anyone didn't have a period after stopping norethisterone, I stopped it 4 weeks ago and I have had no sign of starting my period or any withdrawl bleed, . . . I took 3 pregnancy tests 2 weeks after stopping tablets and all negative and I'm going to do another test if I still don't get my period on friday, . . Just want to know if anyone else has not bled at all after stopping tablets cause I've not come across anyone who hasn't.

    Any advice would be much appreciated

    Hey, a friend of mind didn't start hers until about 6 weeks after stopping taking them. She also had no signs or bleeds in between. Probably not much help to you, but hopefully will put your mind at ease a little. x
