Brief Answer:
please repeat pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
If pregnancy test is negative then primolut n 5mg twice a day will usually induce a period.
As you mentioned that the pregnancy test was done a month ago it would be better to repeat it.
If still negative then you will need detailed ultrasound abdomen and hormone analysis.
Please write back with any queries.hope this was helpful.
Thanks

I took my pregnancy test on 10th april. We had intercourse on march 5th and 9th only. I had my last period on XXXXXXX 31st. After march 9th there was no physical relation. Would I have conceived then? If my pregnancy is positive will d tablets taken affect d baby?

Brief Answer:
no effect of norethisterone on baby

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing back.
The April test should have shown whether you are pregnant. But to be safe please repeat again.
The pregnancy test should indicate whether you are pregnant as it is more than a month now.
Norethisterone does not have want significant effect on the baby. Incase your pregnancy test turns positive then there is no need for termination just because you have taken it.
Thanks
