Can I Get Period Today After Stopping Norethindrone?

Patient's Query

I took norethindrone for 2 days and stopped yesterday afternoon. Is it possible to get my period today? Also, i was on 5mg 3x a day experiencing major bloating. Could i just lower it to 5mg 1x a day to postpone period?

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

When you stop taking norethindrone, your hormone levels can fluctuate, which might trigger your period to start. So, it's possible to get your period soon after stopping the medication. The bloating you experienced could be a side effect of the higher dose. Lowering it to 5mg once a day might help reduce the bloating. However, it's essential to consult with your gynecologist before making any changes to your medication regimen to ensure it's done safely and effectively. They can provide personalized guidance based on your individual health needs.

Hello doctor. Me and my partner didn’t had sex. On July 4, gave him oral. His pre cum got onto my lips. Kissed him on his hips with his pre cum. And then he went down on me. Is it possible to get pregnant like that? Or even if he has touched his penis with a little bit of pre cum and fingered me after 1-1.5 hours of doing so? I took emergency contraceptive under 48 hours. And I drank 2 glasses of ginger water one day before taking it and also 5 hours before taking it. And early morning before taking the pill on July 5, I saw some light bleeding in my vagina and thought it was ovulation bleeding because I don’t have such light periods. And I’ve irregular periods. ( I’m not sure if it was my periods ) so there are chances that I took the unwanted 72 pill on the first day or 1-2 days before my periods were due. And after 14-15 hours of taking the pill, I started bleeding heavily (more than spotting and less than periods) . The bleeding was enough to use a pad. Can withdrawal bleeding start this early ? Just after 14-15 hours of taking the pill? Or is it my periods triggering early because I took the pill maybe near my due date or on my due date? On 6th July morning, I drank one more glass of ginger water , and in the evening my body temperature fluctuated between 99.3 at 5pm to 98.7 at 8pm and 97.6 at 11pm . My heartbeat also gets fast sometimes. Is it because of the stress? Or hormonal changes? Today is July 7th, more than 48 hours gone after taking the pill. And in the morning , I was feeling dizzy , tired and weakness. I slept again and woke up at 3pm. I am still feeling tired but that maybe because I slept so much. I’m still bleeding heavily. But it’s lesser than my normal periods. Could this be my periods only? But less heavier? Or is it withdrawal bleeding? Am I pregnancy safe? I’m really worried!

CHOROID plexus cyst is common and usually benign... FETAL cysts are relatively harmless... cysts often disappear on their own... no need for additional fetal testing... your doctor will monitor the cyst's size...

I’ve had chalymdia several times, and I got treated twice and I was wondering if my iud might have chalymdia on it making me not get rid of it.

Chlamydia is a very common sexually transmitted infection (STI). Chlamydia is not caused by an IUD in your body. The infection is in your body, not on your IUD. You need to be treated properly according to what your doctor prescribes to be rid of chlamydia. The most important thing to do is to treat partners as well, thus preventing re-infection.

I am pregnant in 9 weeks. At my last scan, they said I have a possible hematoma with dimmensions 8/5 mm. They said it is small and nothing to worry about. Also I had no bleeding or brown discharge. So what should I do?

Female | 20

If your doctor has told you that the hematoma is small and not a cause for concern, then it is likely that they have assessed the situation carefully and do not see any immediate risks to your pregnancy.

Previously hyperthyroidism patient from last 2 yr... Period cycle only last for 10-12 days gap that is happening twice a month, sudden lower abdomen pain, belly fat increased, frequently itching in the labia part, tired all day, from 8- 9 days bleeding not stopped..

Female | 19

You may be having numerous bodily changes. The signs you described–like shorter periods, more belly fat, itching in the private area, and constant fatigue–could be a result of irregular hormones. Ailments such as those related to the thyroid gland or other hormone shifts may cause these irregularities.

Having a small fibroid, about the size­ of a grape, can make it hard to poop and cause back pain, mainly whe­n you have your monthly period. Eating lots of foods with fiber and drinking wate­r helps with hard poops. You can also talk to your doctor about ways to treat the fibroid if it make­s you feel bad.

Hii there i am 24 year old female. I had unprotedted sex with my partner and after that i took contraceptive pill then after that i had again unprotected sex…..and my period is statt in 2 days i wanted to know i m not gonna get preagnant right. I am safe????

Female | 24

The pill is good at preventing pregnancy, but it's not 100 % effective. If you're going to get your period in 2 days, the chances for you to get pregnant are lower now, still, it is a small chance. If there is any worry, you can do a pregnancy test after your period to make sure you're not pregnant.
