Anyone ever taken 'Norethisterone' to delay your period?

[PiperBeeley]

Got some prescribed for me today, but have never taken it before - how effective is it? TIA x

Never taken it myself but both daughters have to avoid periods on holiday. It was very effective, no side effects.

I've taken it to sync my cycle with another lady for egg donation. I had spotting from the day my period usually starts but it did delay the full flow as it was supposed to.

The spotting was heavy enough to need a pad so it would have annoyed me if I was doing it to delay a period.

I had no side effects other than the spotting.

Thanks guys I'm going abroad in 5 weeks with my four young children alone (for the first time!) it just so happens to be exactly when my period is due so I really am hoping it works well! Pretty sure I'll have enough to contend with without having to sort out 'that'! As I said I've never taken it before, and I have asked a few friends and they have never tried it either... so not much clue of the success rate iyswim? Fingers xd though

DD has taken it 3 times (exams/holiday) worked v well for her.

Yes. I have taken it.
Had horrendous painful, very heavy periods & was doing a show with a skimpy white costume...as you can imagine I was dreading it.
GP was happy to prescribe it & it worked a treat.
It was perfect!!
I did feel like my period was about to begin, but it didn't. I didn't have any spotting at all either
