It all starts here

The day is here where I start the process (as opposed to the waiting, although there's still plenty more of that to come!)

First tablet this morning of Norethisterone, and a second this evening. I'll be taking this until Thursday 12th Jan inclusive. Here's hoping for no side effects!

I've looked up Norethisterone and found :

Type of medicine: Man-made form of progesterone
Used for: Problems with your periods
Breast cancer
Also called Primolut N®, Utovlan®
Available as Tablets

Norethisterone contains a hormone which is similar to the hormoneprogestogen that is naturally produced by the body. It is used to treat a number of menstrual cycle disorders. Norethisterone is also used to help treat breast cancer.

It is important for some people to start taking this medicine on a particular day of the menstrual cycle for a specific number of days. This depends on which condition is being treated.

Once you have finished taking a course of Norethisterone, you will usually have a menstrual bleed a few days after taking your last tablet.

I also read it can be used to delay menstruation, or control the timing.
