Hi, It's good you had the doubt before planning for pregnancy. Pregnancy is not possible while on norethistron, & consumption of the drug in pregnancy can cause birth abnormality in fetus. - Norethesteron is a hormonal preparation you were given to control menstrual problem after abortion.But I am afraid you are given a bit prolonged course of the drug. And you need to withdraw the Norethesterone for that.Do it under your doctor's care. - usually after withdrawal of the medicine,is followed by bleeding & comming period gets normal. -For pregnancy, a normal menstrual cycle with ovulation is essential for conception. - you can plan a pregnancy after 3 normal periods( guided by a gynecologist). Thanks.
