Hello
Thanks for your query.
Registrone contains norethisterone.
This drug is not recommended during pregnancy as it causes certain side effects in the baby.
However, you have to weight the benefits of continuation versus the risk of termination after three cesarean sections.
The dose taken is very small, and in any situation, abnormalities occur in any normal population with a background risk of 1 %.
Please consult a genetic counsellor to know the exact odds of having an abnormal child.
Take care.
