Have you taken them? How are the side effects? I really don't want to have my period in the middle of my long planned and awaited dream holidays!!

I take northesterone (so) regularly as I bleed so often it really mucks up my life. I personally have had no side effects but have hear others suffer head aches and find that as soon as you stop taking them your period is often much heavier than normal. I have found I normally come on about four/five days after taking the last tablet.

took it twice to delay periods when on holiday (so 8 days max). made me a bit tired and I had PMT symptoms but other than that it was fine. My period started about 2-3 days after stopping it and was just as usual.

I read so many horror stories about it online and was really worried. I'd take it again.

I use cerazette as my normal pill and havent had a period in years, its fab

Yup northesterondle, that's the one! I'm slightly concerned about the PMT symptoms as I suffer of PMDD (which is clinical sever PMT) I only get the mood symptoms, but being on the verge of a breakdown (while not bleeding) doesn't sound like fun either!

I've used the tablets many times. Never had a problem.
