Is Norethindrone Acetate 5 mg Safe to Delay Periods?
norethindrone acetate 5 mg is safe to take to delay periods, what should be the dosage
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 30th May '24
Taking a pill with 5 milligrams of norethindrone acetate 3 times a day is a good way to delay your period. You’re supposed to start 3 days before the expected date of your menstruation. For most people it is safe but they might have to put up with some side effects such as headaches or feeling sick in their stomach. If this medication raises any worries or one has serious symptoms then a gynecologist should be consulted immediately.

I cant calculate mu current period cycle as im having irregular period every month and want to get pregnant.
Female | 25
Disordered periods don't make the process of finding the fertile window easy at all. You should see your gynecologist or a fertility specialist and have him/her evaluate your menstrual history, as this is the best way to get advice on tracking ovulation. It will also raise your chances of conceiving.

I'm 37 weeks pregnant since yesterday I'm experiencing that my vagina is swollen bt wit no irritation...only slightly pain when I wipe after I pee
Female | 31
At 37 weeks pregnant, experiencing vaginal swelling with slight pain could be due to normal pregnancy changes. Consult your gynecologist to ensure everything is progressing well.

Delay periods 4mnths want to continue
Female | 36
Stress, hormone imbalances, or medical conditions are potential culprits. If sexually active, pregnancy remains a plausible explanation. Pinpointing the underlying cause and obtaining appropriate treatment necessitates consulting a gynecologist.

The first day of my last period was 22nd December 2024, and it lasted 4 days. I was supposed to start my next period on 22nd January, 2025. However, I have not had it till today (31st Jan, 2025). I had protected sex on 12th January, in which condoms were used and my partner pulled out at the time of ejaculation. What are the chances I might be pregnant? Should I take a test? Am I just late? History of medical conditions: I have had irregular periods, i.e., a few days late in the past, and my cycles sometimes extended to 39 days. However, this is the longest cycle, and my last two periods have been shorter than usual ( 4 days instead of my usual 5 days). I had intercourse on 12th January with a barrier (condoms) and my partner pulled out at the time of ejaculation. Previous history of current medical complaint: My periods used to be irregular, I have recently gained weight, and I suffer from facial hair growth, etc. I also have taken Plan B pills on 2 separate occasions in the last year. My longest cycle was 39 days, and periods came a couple days after the predicted date. However, this is the longest delay I've experienced in the past. Current medication details: None History of medication for the same complaint: None lab tests done: None Height, Weight Height Weight 5' 3" (160.02 cm) 167 lbs (75.75 kg)

It's understandable to feel concerned about your missed period, especially with a history of irregular cycles. While protected sex reduces the risk of pregnancy, no method is 100% effective. Given your cycle history and recent changes in your body, stress or hormonal fluctuations could contribute to this delay. I recommend taking a home pregnancy test for peace of mind. If it’s negative and your period doesn’t start soon, consider consulting a gynecologist for thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

Mam mujhe 6month phle pregnancy hui thi or ek hi month me miscarriage ho gya mene ek hospital me check kraya to bataya ki chemical pregnancy thi ultrasound kraya unhone to bola pcod hai ab samjh nhi aa rha me kya kru..plz help me mam

Chemical pregnancies are one of the pregnancy types that are usually caused by poor hormonal balance in a woman's body. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a disorder of the female reproductive system that causes childbirth difficulties. The signs of the problem are widespread among patients in the form of irregular menses, weight gain, and action. PCOD must be treated by making life changes like a balanced diet and physical activities. Consult a gynecologist for professional and personalized advice.

My wife is at 39th week 3 days and baby weight is 3.7 kgs and doctor ask to come for admission after 2 days. She is afraid of Having Large Baby.
Female | 33
Feeling anxious is understandable, yet you're doing well! A baby weighing 3.7 kilograms at 39 weeks isn't worrisome. Larger babies might make delivery slightly challenging. However, your doctor closely monitors the situation. The suggested admission aims to ensure a smooth birthing process.

Female | 37
Breast pain and presence of a lump can have various causes, such as hormonal changes, fibrocystic changes, infections, cysts, or even injury. In some cases, it could be associated with breast cancer, although this is not common. It's best to get a checkup done with your nearest gynecologist.

Bleeding after sex is not normal and could be due to various reasons like infections, cervical issues, or other health conditions. It is important to visit a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Can u bleed at 6 weeks? Just a little and stop?
Female | 19
Yes, it is possible to bleed lightly for 6 weeks of pregnancy, and at last, it stops. This is appendicle and known as implantation training. When the fertilized egg sticks to a uterus lining it happens. Remarkably, if the blood loss is minuscule and the patient does not feel pain, everything is okay. However, in contrast to this, long-term, or if the folks feel hard pain with bleeding, they have a hand-set in consultation with the gynecologist.

Last month my period date was 25feb this month till now I have not period and my pregnancy test is also negative.
Female | 24
Your period being late is an ordinary occurrence! There are times when stress and routine changes disrupt the cycle. If your pregnancy test turns negative without other symptoms, don't fret - it's likely normal. Wait a couple more weeks; if your period still hasn't arrived by then, consulting a gynecologist might be wise.

I m 32 year old, morning sickness, nausea, dizziness, fatigue and brown watery discharge
Female | 32
You might be experiencing morning sickness, which can sometimes occur even if you're not pregnant. A brown, watery discharge could also indicate an infection, especially if you're feeling nauseous, dizzy, or fatigued. These symptoms can make you feel unwell. Make sure to rest, eat well, and dress comfortably. It's important to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist for a health check and any necessary treatment.

Female | 30
Ovulation can happen even in women with hemorrhagic cysts but look at the size and the kind of cyst. It is always advised to see a gynecologist who is an expert when it comes to cysts for a thorough examination and treatment plan. Please take prescribed drugs and go for regular check-ups

Hello doctor I was expecting pregnancy and yesterday I have to get my period. I have noticed little bleeding yesterday with very mild period cramps. Immediately I have taken diclomal tablet get releived from those cramps. However I havemt noticed any kind of bleeding in my pad but noticed brown colour discharge today morning. My concern is am I pregnant or is it implantation bleeding and if it is so as I have taken the tablet will that effect the pregnancy
Female | 34
It’ is difficult to tell if it's just implantation bleeding unless there is a medical assessment done. You should visit a gynecologist and let them take the pregnancy test and afterward give you the advice you need. The intake of Diclomal tablet can leave the pregnancy at the risk and therefore it is vital to inform the doctor the same. It would be best that you see a gynecologist so you can get a complete check-up with their recommendations.

Can i get pregnant after having periods on my date...
Female | 17
It is possible to conceive after the menstruation period has passed even if it is on time. This is because the body normally gets rid of the uterus lining during this time, but an ovum can still be released occasionally resulting in pregnancy. So if one is not ready for a baby, they should always use birth control methods.

Swollen and tender breast after medical abortion and negative urine pregnancy test also ipill on the 14 day of medical abortion started my periods on the 5 day
Female | 24
IPill may cause hormonal fluctuations. These fluctuations can sometimes lead to sore breasts. Wearing a supportive bra and applying warm compresses helps alleviate discomfort. If pain persists, consulting your gynecologist becomes advisable.

period pain since 16 but not come what to do my date is 19-20
Female | 23
It is entirely natural to have period pain, including if your period has not yet come. This period of pain represents the ups and downs our body goes through with hormones as they change. A warm bath or a warm water bag on the tummy can be used to ease the pain. If pain gets too severe or you have any further worries; contact a gynecologist.

Hormonal imbalances, stress, changes in weight or exercise patterns, etc can lead to changes in menstrual cycle.. Since you have had a negative pregnancy test its imp that you consult a gynecologist or physician to determine the cause of missed periords.

The information that you shared is such that I can't tell between the loss of virginity and residual menstrual blood as the causes of bleeding. It requires a gynecologist examination to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

"My issue is that my period is delayed this time. Let me explain everything. I got my period on September 18, then on October 15, and then on November 11, but I didn't get it in December. I had sex on December 11, but my husband did not ejaculate inside me. I wanted to ask if pregnancy can occur from the white egg-like discharge becausel still haven't gotten my period. My last period date was the 11th of last month."
Female | 22
When a woman has her period late, stress may be the reason, or hormone levels have changed due to excess sexual activity. A slimy white discharge similar to an egg is a sign of health and thus discharge could be a normal part of your cycle. However, the discharge does not have a high chance of being a symptom of pregnancy. If you feel uncertain, carry out a home test and wait for a few days if your period has not come. Or you can go to a gynecologist if it concerns you.
