How Does Taking Norethisterone Effect During Conception?

Hi,

I took norethisterone to delay my period for a holiday. I bled for 1 day 3-4 days after stopping the tablets and I had excrutiating pain then the same 1 week later. I think I should have started my period over the last few days. If it turned out I was pegnant when taking these tablets would it harm the foetus in any way?

Hi there,

Even if you were pregnant when you took the Nor-ethisterone tablets it's very unlikely that they would harm your baby in any way. You can be reassured that if at all you are pregnant it will not cause either miscarriage or any defect in the baby.
Please do a home pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant or not and if the test is negative repeat it after a week. If it is still negative after a week visit a Gynecologist.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
