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

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.

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)

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.

Mere breast me pain hai usme gaanth bhi mehsus hoti hai to mujhe kya reason ho sakta hai iska

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.

My ovaletion occur sir My doctor told me there is no problm to concieve with hemorrhage cyst and suggest me take a dydroboon tablet for 10days I'm not having any trouble from cyst doctor also told don't about it

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.
