Is It Safe To Take Norethisterone While You Are Trying To Conceive?

I have been prescribed norethisterone to induce a period as I have not had a period since my mirena was removed last August. I am currently trying to conceive. I last had unprotected sex on Thursday, is it safe for me to start taking these tablets or should i wait and do pregnacy test and when?

As you didn't had your periods after removal of mirena then it's quite difficult to find out whether you are ovulating or not. Fertility restoration occur late with mirena. Do upt if negative then go for norethisterone for withdrawal bleeding. Then u can go for ovulation induction drugs or at least for tests that can tell us whether you are ovulating or not.
