Hi

Norethisterone is a form of progesterone and may not harm your baby.Progesterone hormone maintains pregnancy in the early stages. Avoid further intake of the drug.Start taking folic acid every day without fail.

Regular ultrasound should be taken according to your doctor's advice.Complete blood counts and blood sugar levels should be taken.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
