Question 1

i've been taking aygestin (norethindrone). is it possible i can get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Aygestin (norethindrone) is a progsterone.  It does not prevent ovulation, so you can get pregnant.

Question 2

i have been taking aygestin (norethindrone) for 4 months is it possible that i can get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Aygestin (norethindrone) makes pregnancy very unlikely but it is not an approved contraceptive, so it should be relied upon for that purpose.

Question 3

how likely to get pregnant while taking norethindrone .35 and nursing? period like symptoms but no period for two weeks. worried could be pregnant

Accepted Answer

Possible: If you're nursing regularly (like every 2 hours) and taking your pill every day, the failure rate is low.

Question 4

starting new pack of micronor (norethindrone) a day late; can i get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but risk is low: Missing even 1 day with an oral contraceptive pill increases the chances of getting pregnant, but only by a small amount. It is generally recommended that if that happens, you take two pills per day for two days to get caught up - although this won't eliminate the increased risk of pregnancy completely.

Question 5

starting new pack of micronor (norethindrone) a day late can i get pregnant now?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The progestin only pills , as opposed to the pills that also contain estrogen, work by thickening the cervical mucous- and must be taken every day - same time - or the mucous will thin and sperm can easily be transported. Depending on where you are in your cycle - ex. Ovulation / there is a risk for pregnancy.

Question 6

i am on mylan norethindrone to prevent pregnancy but still get my cycles every 30 days. can i take primolut to postpone a period? (together with micronor?

Accepted Answer

: It is unusual to ovulate regularly while on norethindrone, but if you are ovulating, and your "period" is regular , taking more progestin (Primolut or Micronor) will not stop the withdrawal bleeding from estrogen made in your ovaries if you are in fact ovulating.

Question 7

if pregnant does taking norethindrone cause miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

No: Norethindrone is the Progesterone in many birth control pills, so this is an issue for many women who do not realize they are pregnant and continue their pills.  It will not cause a miscarriage but it might cause a small amount of bleeding shortly after it is discontinued.

Question 8

my girlfriend was on aygestin (norethindrone) for a month and then stopped, 24 hours later we had sex, is it possible she got pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Aygestin (norethindrone) is a mini-pill, meaning it has a single ingredient compared with combination-pills that have 2 ingredients. Mini-pills need to be taken at the same time each day to prevent pregnancy. After the pill is stopped, pregnancy can happen... which is why condoms are wonderful to have around. A home urine pregnancy test is very accurate 3 weeks after sex if a normal menstrual period doesn't come.

Question 9

orthro micronor (norethindrone) (mini pill) symptoms or pregnancy, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy test: A negative home urine pregnancy test is the ultimate proof that symptoms that could be consistent with a pregnancy a actually not caused by a pregnancy.

Question 10

Pregnancy: Pregnancy is always possible in the reproductive age group. The likelihood in your case is low assuming that you caught up by taking both the pill you forgot as well as the one for that day. Run a pregnancy test to be sure and let this be a lesson.
