I'm taking primolut N to delay my periods because of a work emergency. My period was originally supposed to start around the 23rd or 24th of September. Today is the 22nd, and I'm on my second day with primolut N, but I'm noticing a light white-pinkish discharge. Is this normal? Should I keep taking primolut N? I really can't afford to get my period right now because it's usually very heavy.

It's normal to experience some spotting or discharge while taking this medication, especially in the initial days, as it can affect the lining of your uterus.If the discharge becomes heavier, or you experience any unusual symptoms like severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding then consult the doctor

I've just realized I took Primolut for five days without knowing I was pregnant. I'm really nervous about whether this could affect my baby. Can you help me understand what to expect?

- taking Primolut (norethisterone) early in pregnancy is unlikely to harm your baby, but it's essential to stop it immediately now that you know. Please consult your OB-GYN for a detailed evaluation and guidance to ensure both your and your baby's health.

I'm currently on my first round of letrozole and tested positive for pregnancy on cycle day 37. I've got an appointment on Friday, but I'm feeling a bit worried. I've been having period-like cramps for a few seconds when I walk or get up from the bed or sofa. Sometimes I feel some pain around my ovaries and even some uterine pain after I pee for a few seconds. Is this normal in early pregnancy?
