period

[condor66]

am i correct in thinking that the doc would be able to prescribe a pill to stop my period? I will have my period while i am on holiday .

[suzi-q]

Yes you can. I've used it a couple of times, holiday was one and my wedding was the other!!!!! How inconvenient are periods?

[condor66]

thanks will ask my doc for it . Is it easy to use did you have any side effects?

[swansgal]

Ive used them once. If i remember rightly you take it three days before your period is due. And your period begins three days after you stop taking it. (I think). I was a bit wary about taking them incase of side effects, but i didn't get any.

If you are on the pill you can just carry on taking it instead of coming off for 7 days

[ratbag66]

It's norethisterone
