A member asked:
Is norethindrone a reliable birth control when used at the same time daily with no missed pills even if you still ovulate on the pill?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No. An egg can be fertilized. The goal of BCP is to stop you from ovulating at all. When this fails you can become pregnant.

Norethindrone is a synthetic progestin, and usually interferes with implantation even if ovulation sometimes occurs. Ovulation on progestins like norethindrome is not regular, but the contraceptive protection is in the high 90's for effective birth control.
