Can I Take Norethisterone As An Emergency Contraceptive ?
Am I able to take norethisterone as an emergency contraceptive? I have had unprotected sex, I am age 43, I was still bleeding from my period but I have a 26 day cycle and have been bleeding for 10 days. I am not on the pill, but have norethisterone 5mg tablets available. Can I use these, and how many should I take?

Noerthisterone is not a contraceptive pill....in fact it can be given for irregular bleeding like you r having.....since you were continoysly bleeding a nd your intercourse happened on day 10 of cycle...mostly you dont have a chance of pregnancy....but you can take pill 72 for emergency contraception and for bleeding to stop take treanexa...mefenemic tabs for 2 to 3 days....u can start on Noerthisterone next cycle to regularise your periods.....but it will not give contraception
