A member asked:

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

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

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

Dr Kunz and another doctor agreed
