A member asked:

If pregnant does taking norethindrone cause miscarriage?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
