Hi, I’ve recently gotten on a birth control pill called “ Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol 1mg/0.02 mg” What I’ve recently discovered is after taking the three weeks of pills I’m supposed to take a week off of the pills and then start the new pack. Needless to say, I was unaware that I was supposed to be taking this week off between packs. I’ve been taking this birth control for almost 4 months without these week breaks between packs. Is this something I should worry about?
Three months ago I was switched by my OBGYN to the oral contraceptive pill Loestrin ( a combination of norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol). I asked my doctor to switch me from my old 'tried & true" BC pill Azurette (Ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel) because of my suspicion that it, Azurette might be making my Chronic Migraine Headache condition worse.
Hi Sassy,
It's good that you talked to your doctor about your bleeding, especially since it's been two years. They say that any bleeding after going a year without a period should be checked out.
That said, FEMHRT combines both estrogens and progesterone (norethindrone acetate), and one drawback is that the latter can cause "breakthrough bleeding", even in post-menopausal women.
The OBGYN gave me a better medication to stop the bleeding NORETHINDRONE ACETATE 5mg. I came in complaining of a stabbing pain on my right complex ovary and fluid build up in the abdomen. The pelvic exam was normal. But this does not rule out Ovarian cancer. I’m really scared because I’m almost 1 month I have 23LB pounds. Feeling a tired and bloated. A week ago a got worse my belly looks 6 Months pregnant. The belly has gone down a little.
Yes, if you take leuprorelin injections, most doctor use addback with low dose Norethindrone acetate to prevent osteoporosis. You should discuss this with your doctor.
Alternatively, if you have endometriomas ie endometriosis cysts in your ovaries you can take a birth control pill to try to control pelvic pain and potential progression endometriosis.
my hormones back in order from where the Lupron had suppressed hormone production. He placed me on Norethindrone acetate 5 mg once a day. I began taking the prescription on January 3 and took my last pill on February 27th. When he placed me on the prescription I asked him what I could expect and when my period should return. He said it should return within 6 weeks after stopping the add back therapy.
I normally have very regular periods, but since the beginning of the year they have been only coming about every other month or so. The beginning of July my doctor put me on Norethindrone .35mg to help regulate my periods. I want to get pregnant ASAP, but it just wasnt happening with having irregular cycles. Will Norethindrone help me to ovulate or is it ultimately going to make it harder for us to conceive?
I stopped taking my Premarin, and upon my request for a safer or natural hormone, she prescribed estradiol .05 once a week patch, just recently (last week) added Prometrium, 200 mg. daily. My health/sanity issues have not changed. I have anxiety, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, insomnia, body aches, memory problems, difficulty concentrating and staying on tasks, no sex drive, the list goes on.
Hello, my fiancé and I are actively ttc. I haven’t had a cycle since August 2017, so a few days ago I went to the ob/gyn..he didn’t seem very concerned. He told me to lose a few pounds, which I am about 20 lbs overweight. He said PCOS could be a possibility, but for now he prescribed me Norethindrone 5mg. I am supposed to take 2 pills twice a day, & there are 20 pills total. My doc said it will help with a “breakthrough bleed” to get my cycle back.
Hello ppl. i'm new here.
I was diagnosed endometriosis and one my fallopian tube is swollen w fluid. My dr prescribed me Norethindrone 5mg for 6 months. After that we're planning to have IVF. I was also suggested to remove my swelling tube. Is it necessary to remove it?
Personally, i'd rather not having any surgery.
Im late 30s, never been pregnant yet, so that's another concern.
Any advice would be helpful.
I was taking 5 mg of norethindrone (aygestin) for endometriosis. The bleeding stopped almost entirely. Now I've lost my insurance, and my OB won't see self-pay patients. I tried appling for the"planning for healthy families" thing our state does to help provide birth control to low income families, but they won't give me this medication as it isn't an actual birth control.
My OB/GYN put me on a hormone pill called Norethindrone 5MG. She put me on this hormone pill to help regulate my periods and to help me get pregnant easier. I only take it 12 days out of each month and the rest of the month I don't take it. I know that anytime that you take hormone pills it can make your hormones fluntuate and throw menstrual cycles off. Well, I only have periods every 2-3 months, so I was due to have a period for this month of October.
I am not trying to get pregnant, but I was wondering whether Norethindrone could cause a false positive on a pregnancy test, since it is a hormone pill? I haven't been taking it that long - about four days so far. My OB/GYN prescribed it to me because my period is really late and she said that I should take it for a week and then within the next week my period should start, and then I'd start a normal birth control.
I really doubt I am pregnant.
Well, she also prescibed a hormone pill called Norethindrone 5MG. She said that after 3 months of taking the Norethindrone that I should start having a regular period every month. I take it for the first 12 days of each new month and that's it. But I acutally started it on the 3rd of October because my husband and I had questions about the medication.
I have had 2 periods from taking norethindrone. My last 2 times of taking the pills I have not had a period. The last pills my doc also prescribe estrogen pills with the norethindrone. Still no period and my husband and I would like to have a kid. I have taking the THS test and the prolactin test and they were fine. He said my level is 7 and should be 10 or higher (not sure which one is talking about- progesertone level maybe. What do you think?
I went in for the ultrasound and she confirmed that that is what it appeared to be and also told me I had ANOTHER ovarian cyst about the size of my ovary itself. She then prescribed me Norethindrone to help get rid of the cyst and told me to come back in a month. Well here is the part I am worried about: the cyst ruptured occurred on the 7th of feb and I was supposed to get my period of the 10th. It is now the 7th of March and I still haven’t got my period.
i used prednesolone acetate eye drops prescribed by my doctor, as i had redness of eye and inflmation. after using it it reduced and every thing was normal.But after 3 or 4 years, i had horrible pain in my hips. and when i consulted a bone speciliest, he said that cartilage in my hip joint is woren out, and there are symptoms of artharities, bone is getting woren out due to bone rubbing against each other, due to some steroid or some drug, So can Predesolone acetate be the cause for it.
I got the prescription from the doctor to take 10mg/day of MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE. However, since I started taking the medicine too late, 2 days after I took the medicine, I still had my period, so I stopped taking it. On May 13th, I had unprotected sex. My question is: is it safe to get pregnant within a month after taking 20mg of MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE? Many thanks!
Can anyone tell me how long it takes for HRT to start working? I have been taking estradiol and norethindrone acetate for almost two weeks and so far I don't feel very much better. It has helped the hot flashes somewhat but the other symptoms are about the same. Isn't it supposed to help with sleep. This is so miserable. I still cry everyday and the shaking is still bad. This menopause is the worst. I wish I could have been one of those who breezed through it.
Get add back therapy. It is minuscule amounts of norethindrone and progesterone.
My doctor (a great reproductive endocrinologist) refuses to give lupron without add back he said it is the equivalent of torture not to offer add back.
