Welcome to H.C.M.

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

I see similar cases amongst people who visit my clinic.

REGESTRONE (norethisterone) does not cause low platelet counts.

Your low platelet count is due to other factor.

Low platelet can be due to some infection also so I advise you to repeat complete blood count with peripheral blood film.

This will be very helpful to rule out other cause and for further management.

Thanx.

Hope this answers your question.
If you have any query then please do not hesitate .
I will be happy to answer your questions.
