Can Norethisterone Cause Negative Pregnancy Results?

hai, i ve gone through Tubal Ligation a year back. i usually have irregular periods. but after Tubal Ligation this is my first time. i am having Primolut N for this. but to become sure that this irregularity may not be due to pregnancy(just a thought) i went for a home pregnancy test(result negative). i wanna ask that is there any possibility that the negative result is due to the norethisterone.

Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) The period irregularity could be due to norethisterone you are taking.

2) The pregnancy chances are less as you have got tubal ligation done

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
