Hello,

I can understand your concern. Norethisterone contains progesterone which prevents the breakage of the uterine lining and thus prevents menstruation.

For this medicine to give desired effects, it has to be started 3 days earlier than your expected menstruation date. As you have already passed your expected date, it may or may not work. So you can start the medicine with the chances that you may still get menstruation.

You have to take one pill each day and you can take it for 15-17 days maximum.You can expect menstruation after 2-3 days of stopoing the pill.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic with your problem.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
