Am I able to take norethisterone as an emergency contraceptive? I have had unprotected sex, I am age 43, I was still bleeding from my period but I have a 26 day cycle and have been bleeding for 10 days. I am not on the pill, but have norethisterone 5mg tablets available. Can I use these, and how many should I take?
Noerthisterone is not a contraceptive pill....in fact it can be given for irregular bleeding like you are having.....since you were continuously bleeding a ND your intercourse happened on day 10 of cycle...mostly you don't have a chance of pregnancy....but you can take pill 72 for emergency contraception and for bleeding to stop take treated...mesenteric tabs for 2 to 3 days....u can start on Noerthisterone next cycle to regularize your periods.....but it will not give contraception
