Why is my period flow so heavy after stopping my first 24-day cycle of Crina NCR 10 mg, which was prescribed for my polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thickened uterine lining?
This is a very common reaction. Crina NCR contains norethisterone, a hormone that helps stabilize and thin a thickened uterine lining. When you stop taking it, your hormone levels drop, triggering a withdrawal bleed. Since your lining was already thickened from PCOS, your body is now shedding that built-up tissue, which often results in a heavier period than usual. This is actually a sign the medication did its job to clear the lining. However, if you are soaking through more than one pad per hour for consecutive hours, or feel dizzy, please contact your doctor.
