Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
As you told that you stop taking your pill when you started norethisterone. So ovulation might have taken place in you & you might be pregnant. Norethisterone is needed in case you are not taking pills & just want to dalay your periods.
You just need to continue with your contraceptive pills to delay periods. Pregnancy test may be negative in starting of pregnancy. you should redo a pregnancy test by first urine sample of morning.
For further queries consult a gynaecologist
Hoping your query is solved
