Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Delayed period could be due to hormonal imbalance because of Norethisterone and thi si snot unusual symptom. Of course, if there are doubts about pregnancy you should od urine test.
I would suggest to wait for period. If period will delay by more than 6 weeks days from expected period date, consult the gynecologist for detailed examination. for investigations of irregular menstruations. You may be asked for hormonal work up like FSH, LH, Oestrogen, Progesterone, Prolactin, etc. Before hormonal check up, you will be examined internally to find any organic disease like infection or cyst-Ultrasonography also will reveal a good amount of information regarding your internal organs
Hope this may help you
