Hi Yasin, you can take Norethisterone for up to 2 weeks to delay your period, but it's important to consult your doctor before doing so. Typically, Norethisterone is taken 3 days before your expected period and continued daily for the desired delay.
Hi Medina1718, thanks for your comment. Both mini pills and norethisterone contain progestogens (synthetic versions of the female hormone 'progesterone'). Taking both will cause your body to experience higher levels of this hormone. This can affect your menstrual cycle, potentially leading to irregular bleeding or changes in the timing of your period. We wouldn't recommend taking them together, unless your doctor or pharmacist has explicitly recommended doing so.
Dear Priyanka, if you get your period earlier than expected, starting Norethisterone might not be effective in delaying it, as the drug works best when taken 3 days before the onset of your period. However, if you still want to manage the timing of your next cycle, you can discuss starting Norethisterone early with your doctor or pharmacist.

I haven’t found not one video about this that says whether or not if you can take it while on birth control. (Mini pill)
