Norethestirone woes

3 replies

AlbaAurora · 31/07/2023 14:13

I am currently on day 7 of a 10 day course of norethestirone in the hopes of delaying/resetting my period in advance for a holiday in September. I didn't want to take it while away since I've never tried it before. Well thank god I never.

I have barely slept since I started taking it, the insomnia is awful. Struggling to get through work and just existing. Never mind the low level constant nausea/gas and rage. If I stop before the 10 days are up it could have been a waste of time so far as may not clear the dates, so feel I need to power through to the end even though I'm desperate to stop.

Don't even know what I'm looking for posting this, just needed a rant and feeling sorry for myself 😟

That's a shame. I took it on holiday recently and didn't have side effects. The period when it stopped wasn't too bad either.

Thanks. Well it's at least good to know I may not be in for the period from hell when I stop eventually.

I am probably in the minority so don't want to put anyone off. The first 2 days I felt fine then boom..
