People who have taken norethisterone!

The question about the norethisterone tablet is, does it make your periods messed up afterwards? Like does your body try to get used to them so your periods go irregular?

thank you so so much :') I was so worried you don't understand! It's really silly because when I'd got them, the doctor told me my periods would be regular again, but they haven't been, and I was worried I was pregnant, even though me and my boyfriend haven't had sex yet. But this has put a huge weight off my shoulders so thank you! how long did it take you to go back on?

I understand you've got your answer now, and I know you've said you haven't had intercourse with your boyfriend, but it's important to bear in mind norethisterone has no contraceptive effect. So if he ejactulated when you were having fun and this went near you, there is some risk of pregnancy.

However, as PinPin said they mess up your cycle. Your body has a pretty neat way of chiming in at the same time every month (well, in your case, anyway! :P ) and this is controlled by a changing levels of four hormones. Norethisterone is a synthetic (ie. made in a lab) version of one of these hormones, so it works by tricking your body into not reaching Ladies' Day. When you stop therapy, it usually takes about three months for your body to get itself back into the swing of things.

If you want some peace of mind, have a chat with your GP, or find out where your nearest GUM clinic is. GUM clinics are largely very posh and chilled out now, btw! So if you ever need to go, don't worry.

And don't stress about being 'wrong' just because it's not all perfect. A woman's body is a very complex and well-designed thing, and it keeps you good most of the time - it's allowed to have a few bad days!

that's virtually impossible! sperms die when exposed to air, so there is no way she can get pregnant that way, unless the boy friend put his willies into his girls area.
