Please, please get your haematologist to confer with a gynae/endocrine specialist before they put you on Norethisterone! I've had two separate g/e consultants tell me that Norethisterone was a big contributor to the massive hormonal problems I've had post-transplant, and these could've been avoided by giving me different meds to stop my periods instead! It was great while I was on it, but as soon as I tapered off, all h*ll broke loose, and I'm STILL working through those issues 18 months after going off it.
