How To Wean Off Norethisterone Slowly Without Any Side Effects? 

Hi, I took Norethisterone to delay my period, as I was getting married, I was already a couple of days late when I started taking the tablets. I have since stopped taking them, I ve got very tender nipples and had some mild cramping but no period and today is the 5th day after stopping, so I decided to do a digital pregnancy test, firstly the results said pregnant 3+ but then changed to an error, so I m confused and concerned that I may have been pregnant when I started taking the tablets. Could I actually be pregnant? I ve had fertility problems, and was told it was unlikely to happen but fell pregnant about 15 months ago but then miscarried at about 7-8 weeks, I am not a fertile woman and my period is usually very regular, any idea what is going on please?

hi,
thanks for writing to us
get the beta hcg levels get tested to confirm the pregnancy,
there are cases who don't periods after stopping the norethistrone, wait for 10 days and then consult your gynaecologist about it, fertility depends on the follicular studies and the harmonal levels, get all the investigations done to know the cause of infertility. don't get stressed much there are many advanced technologies to treat infertility.
take care.
