Norethisterone, how long does it take to work?

[Sophiathesnowfairy]

I have been perscribed norethisterone because of continual bleeding since having a Mirena coil fitted. I started to take it yesterday and since then the bleeding has become really heavy.

I am now feeling really depressed about this as I have now been bleeding for months and I thought this would give me a break.

Has anyone had this and perhaps know how long it takes to work?

I started on it last week and saw a difference within half a day - vastly reduced flow - and bleeding completely stopped within 2 days. Hope it kicks in for you v soon.

I was on this before and within 2-3 hours I had stopped, hope it works soon

Thanks. I really hope it does work.

Hey! I had the mirena coil fitted in May I have been bleeding constantly since after going back to the gp they put me on the pill..apart from make me a complete lunatic it did nothing! I've been swabbed and checked so many times! So today the gp gave me Norethisterone take 5mg 3 times a day after just taking the first tablets my periods have got so much heavier? Im only 30 ive recently got a new partner it's taking over my life! I've had thrush numerous times from wearing a sanitary towel! How long until these tablets start to work? I can't cope much more ?? thanks guys x
