Tell me about your experience with Norethisterone?

[ImInStealthMode]

We're getting married in June and OF COURSE I'm due AF the day before the wedding. This month I've been a day late, so if that happens again I'll start on the wedding day and finish a day or 2 into the honeymoon.

Not the end of the world exactly but not ideal.

I'm considering getting a course of norethisterone to delay it until after the honeymoon but it's been years and years since I used it and I can't remember how effective it was. If it means I'm just going to spot throughout anyway I might as well not bother and just get it out of the way.

If you've used it recently did it work for you? Otherwise does anyone know of a reliable way to jump-start AF and encourage it to start early??

ive used it a few times and never spotted

I’ve used it twice and it worked perfectly - no spotting or symptoms.

My next two periods were a nightmare, though. I’m very lucky in that my period is like clockwork, exactly five days long and I only get niggling cramps on day one. The two months after taking norethisterone it was really heavy, agonising and mood-wise I was like the Hulk.

No spotting. First time no issues and used successfully.
Second time hideous cramping,pain and bloating and vowed never again. A bit luck of the draw it seems.

I used it several times when I was doing long multi-day mountain treks. No issues at all, the next period always seemed to be normal. Good luck with using it for your wedding OP.
