Provera v norethisterone for period delay

4 replies

Does anyone have a experiences of provera v norethisterone for period delay? Which was better? What were the side effects like? I'm particularly interested in Provera as I think I'm more likely to get prescribed that online without an up to day blood pressure reading and because I'm overweight.

If relevant, I'm mid-40s and in the past have been pretty sensitive to hormonal contraception making me very ratty and feel like I had PMS the whole time. I also have mild PCOS - my main symptom is long (35-45+ day) irregular cycles.

I don't get on with provera, gives me chest pain

I take norethisterone with few issues apart from not being able to climax very often

Have used both and can't really tell any difference with either of them. They both do the same thing and are both progesterone.

I have used norethisterone. It worked, but made my PMS worse and my period was very heavy and painful when it did arrive.

I used norethisterone to delay a period which was due the day of our daughter's wedding. I felt like I wanted to scream at everyone, I was really irritable and angry. When my period came it was very heavy and painful but I still felt huge relief like a black cloud had been lifted. I'd never take it again.
