Period delay medication

Has anyone used Norethisterone?

My period is due the day before we go on holiday, and I suffer with very heavy, painful, long periods.

Would you recommend it?

Yep used it quite a bit. Never had an issue, doesn’t seem to bring on a heavier period than usual once the level decreases. Honestly one of the best things ever invented!

I've used it too. No side effects and period was pretty normal after I stopped them

Thanks both, that’s reassuring to know

Just back from a 2 week holiday where I had to take this daily. Best thing ever… just waiting for the repercussions once my period arrives. I suffer from extremely heavy periods and couldnt do a holiday without this.
