Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
1) I can suggest you to take Norethisterone pill 5 mg twice daily, at least 3 days prior to expected date of period. You can take it as long as you want to postpone your period (max 1 week).
2) There is NO effect on breastfeeding if you have taken those pills. You will get your period like withdrawal bleeding within 5-7 days after stopping them.
Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.

Hello,
Welcome back again.
1) Norethisterone may suppress the production of breast milk and alter the composition of the breast milk. However, its percentage is less than 5% if it is taken for long term period.
2) Norethisterone itself is a progesterone tablet. Therefore, same group of drug will effect same functionality.
Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care.
