[|Human|] Hi, I am currently on the depo provera and have been for nearly three years now. I get spotting a few days every three months which has happened since I started using this. I am going on holiday in a few days and feel like I might be due on but am unsure if I actually will as you can never tell on this! Can I start taking Norethisterone to stop this before it happens or will it make it potentially worse? Thanks
[|AI|]  Hallow Dear, Depot proverb contains Progesterone. It is known to cause breakthrough bleeding. In such events, increasing a dose of Progesterone helps. Norethisterone is a Progestational preparation. So it will help you control the spotting. However, instead of taking it in advance, I would advise taking them only when you get spotting. Once the spotting stops, you may discontinue the pills. I hope this helps you.
