BFP whilst taking Norethisterone please help?!?!

hi everyone, im new to this site, my and hubby have been ttc since jan, after coming off the pill my periods were messed up so doc put me on NORETHISTERONE 5mg tablets. before starting to take the tablets my period was 65days late, i did HPT, urine tests and blood test and all came back neg, so i started taking the tablets as instructed then took my last ones last tuesday, i was then supposed to have a withdrawel bleed, so i wait a week and then it dawns on my what if im preg!!!!

so i took 2 ebay cheepies tonight and both very stronge BFP's! me and hubby are suited, but then got to thinking what if the tablets have some effect on my little bean!

does anyone have any experience of taking these and being pregnant? or any advice at all to help me? im guna ring the docs 1st thing moro, but i just know i wont sleep tonight!!!

    I'm not sure of any effects but I took this the month before my BFP to stop my period whilst on honeymoon, my doctor made it very clear that if I didn't want to get pregnant I should use protection as Norethisterone isn't a contraceptive.
    I'm sure it will be fine though, I also had a chest infection the month I got my BFP and was on anti-biotics, cough medicine, cold and flu tablets....luckily all seems well with bubs!

    Good luck let us know how you get on

    Hi hun!
    Welcome to the site and congratulations.
    I was taking norethisterone the month before I got my BFP, I had to use it all the time as my periods were so haywire...

    Anyway, back to the question. You should stop taking the tablets and like you said you were going to anyway, contact your GP in the morning.

    I'm sure everything will be just fine hun, I know you will be worrying now but the chances are everything will be ok.

    Try and get some sleep and let us know how you get on in the morning.

    Take care

    I found this on the net for you hun,

    http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100005210.html

    It doesn't sound like there are any major complications from taking it then finding out you are pregnant.
    Hope it may put your mind at rest a little bit overnight.

    Hi ladies, 

    i am

    havign a similar issue and maybe some of you lovely ladies could also Shead some light? 

    I got married on the 25th September This year, I took norithisterone for 5 days whilst in my honeymoon, after this I had a 1 day heavy bleed and that was it, I was pretty poor tbh with taking them on time. 

    We we have been trying since then and over the last few days I have a soar and  cramping tummy, I'm so hormonal and have been sick 3 days in a rOw. My breaks are also very very tender. 

    Are re these symptoms from taking this medication over 4 weeks ago now or could I be in the early stages of pregnancy. I did a test today and it came back negative. :( 

    am am I just wishful thinking? 

    Thanks in advance x x

    Hi Everyone! I'm new in this group. My Dr gave me N as well for 20 days per month for 2 months. I just finished all 10 days ago, I got a light period after it but the following week, I had a very heavy headache and vomiting also sleepy anytime. My hubby ask me to do the Pregnancy test and it come out negative, 
    My Dr didn't explain anything about N but when I come back to him after my last pill, he ask me to take a folic acid as I am planning to be. 
    can anyone advise me how long will take to get pregnant after that Norethisterone? 
    I'm so anxious as I still have the symptom until now but not heavy like last week
    your help will be very helpfull
    Thanks xxxxx
