Hello, Im on Norethisterone 5mg 3 a day since last year.
I dont like the side effects of weight gain (3 stone) and hard to not put more on.
My stomach has distended , look like a pregnant woman.
I have cramps anywhere in my body ,worst place the stomach, if i sneeze or yawn or even cough i am in pain. I have coughing fits , one was so bad thought i would die, not sure if the coughing is related but never used to do this, choke on even water or saliva.
I would like to know is there an alternative medicine that will do the same ? which is stop me bleeding to death basically, that wont make me puke and that i can crush as cant swallow tablets. I know of the coil and other things but dont want the coil , not keen on surgery etc
Also i would like to know how do i know when ive finished the menopause ? as the Norethisterone has stopped me bleeding , i dont get periods now. is there a test that can give me that answer ?
