View allI'm curious about what to expect after taking Crina NCR 15. If someone uses it once daily for 5 days, how long until they should expect their period to start? Also, could you explain how Crina NCR 15 actually works?
Crina NCR 15, containing norethisterone 15mg, is a progesterone-only pill that can help regulate menstrual cycles; when taken once daily for 5 days, it can induce withdrawal bleeding, which is often mistaken for a period; typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-4 days after finishing the 5-day course, so you may expect bleeding around 7-9 days after starting Crina NCR 15.

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?
rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.

I've been diagnosed with an endometriotic cyst that's over 3 cm, and I've been on Ovral L for a few months. Now, the cyst's size has decreased to 2.5 x 1.5 cm. My doctor is suggesting I should consider early marriage and pregnancy. Is that really the only option I have? If I delay this, could I face infertility issues down the road, or are there any other complications I should be aware of?
