Norethisterone

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Colchester, UK

Hey ladies,
My gyno recently prescribed me Norethisterone to take twice a day for the next 3 months. The only info I have on this medicine is stuff I've found online (dangerous I know) and the side effects I have found have made me a little hesitant to take them.
Can anyone who has taken it tell me how they got on taking it and what side effects they experienced (doesn't matter if the side effects sound scary) I just want honest opinions before I start taking them.
Thanks in advance :)

I have taken it but only short term, like for a week.

I was on it to try and induce a period. It didnt work for that. In the 7 days i was on it, i didnt notice any side effects

And did you find it helped or caused any side effects?
