Hello As you mentioned that you are taking norethisterone . The normal dose in contraception is 0.35 mg but when taken as an acetate dose is 0.6 mg daily ,but when combined with estrogen dose of norethisterone increased up to 0.5-1.5 mg . The main side effects of this salt is nausea & vomiting , loss of appetite & weight loss , beside others . In your case , as you mentioned that you are having stomach pain , so this pain may be due to norethisterone . I recommend you take some antacid but if nausea or vomiting is severe ,you may need drugs like pantaloc-D once or twice in a day till relief. As far as concerned about pregnancy , if drug is properly and regularly taken , no chance of any pregnancy. Hope this information will help you. Good luck.
