What Impact Does Norethisterone Posses On Fetal Growth?
hi, i have recently come home from a holiday and was taking norethisterone to prolong my period, i followed the doctors order and took 3 everyday 3 days before my period was due... and stopped taking the pill the day i travelled home. I had unprotected sex with my partner twice at the end of the holiday and would only have taken 4 pills after this. I now think that i could be pregnant as since stopping the medication i have not had a bleed for 12 days, i just want to know that if i was pregnant would this have caused any harm or damage to the baby ?

Hello. I have gone through your question.Normally this medicine should not be taken if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.But as u already took this i want to tell u that you had sex very close to your next cycle so chances of pregnancy are very less because your ovulation occurs 14 days prior to your next cycle ,So chances of pregnancy are very less.Thanks
