Hi,
Primulot n contains norethisterone.
Which belongs to category D drugs in pregnancy according to FDA.
Means there is some possibility for fetal risk according to the studies available.
But as you used the tablets only for few days, there may not be any major problem.
Better to consult gynecologist once, get examined and go for ultrasound.
Ultrasound helps in confirming the pregnancy and to estimate the gestational age.
Then regular followup examinations are needed to find out any possible abnormality at the earliest.
Ultrasound at 10 to 11 weeks and TIFFA scan at 18 to 20 weeks are necessary to monitor the growth of the baby and to rule out anomalies.
Take care.
