Regestrone (norethisterone) is used to delay your period, but it is not a reliable contraceptive. Because you had unprotected sex, there is a risk of pregnancy. Your period should typically start within 3 to 7 days after you stop taking the medication. If your period does not arrive within a week of stopping it, or if you feel anxious, I gently recommend taking a home pregnancy test or speaking with your doctor for guidance and peace of mind.

Prolonged bleeding can be unsettling, but it is a very common and treatable issue. To help stop the bleeding, a doctor may recommend oral medications such as progestins (like norethindrone or medroxyprogesterone) or combined oral contraceptive pills to stabilize the uterine lining. Non-hormonal options like tranexamic acid can also help reduce blood loss quickly, while NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) can help moderate the flow. Because these medications require a prescription and need to be tailored to your health history, please consult a gynecologist promptly for a proper evaluation and safe treatment plan.

Yes, you generally need another emergency contraceptive pill because yesterday?s pill will not protect you from today's unprotected sex. Regarding your period delay medication (usually norethisterone), it can interact with certain morning-after pills. If you take levonorgestrel, it is generally safe to use together, but ulipristal acetate can make your period delay medication less effective and vice versa. I highly recommend speaking with a pharmacist or doctor right away to choose the safest option for your specific medications.

Regestrone, which contains the hormone norethisterone, is indeed very effective at stopping spotting by stabilizing the lining of your uterus. Generally, you can expect the spotting to significantly reduce or stop within 24 to 48 hours of starting the medication, though it can sometimes take up to 3 to 5 days to stop completely. Please ensure you take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If the spotting continues beyond a few days, reach out to your gynecologist for a quick check-in.

While you finished your Regestrone (norethisterone) five days ago, withdrawal bleeding typically takes 3 to 10 days to begin. Since you have PCOD, hormonal imbalances can also extend this timeline. Regarding your question, while barrier methods are highly effective, no contraceptive is 100% foolproof, so pregnancy remains a slight possibility. As a next step, I recommend waiting another 5 days. If your bleeding hasn't started by day 10, please take a home pregnancy test to be sure, and consult your gynecologist to plan the next steps.

Regestrone (which contains norethisterone) is typically started three days before your expected period if your goal is to delay it. Starting it four days after your expected date is usually not effective for delaying that cycle, as the hormonal shift has already occurred. First, please take a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy, which is a common reason for a delayed period. If the test is negative, I gently advise consulting your doctor.
