Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy are present.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Norethisterone is a progesterone and is used to regulate the periods. It is not a contraceptive and will not help in protecting against the pregnancy. The chances of pregnancy in your case are present. After stopping Norethisterone wait for your periods and you can have an emergency pill like I-pill to be very sure.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
