Hello everyone, I am new and scared. I think i am pregnant!!!! Last period was 9th July, then i had 11 days of spotting. Last tuesday night and wednesday i took 3 norethisterone pills as i had some spotting and took them to put my period off to enjoy a weeks holiday, something didnt feel right though so i took a pregnancy test thursday and it was positive, i thought maybe the pills had given me a false positive, however from the reading on internet and asking pharmacist who said he couldnt be 100% certain but didnt think those those pills would give a false positive. I cant see GP until next week.
I tested today and still positive, been feeling sicky at times and bloated but not much,dates put me at 5+ 6, very confused and scared, as this will be our first and i'm 39!
I know i need to find out for sure about these pills!
I did find this on the internet:
Would taking 10mg of norethisterone daily for two weeks give a false pregnancy test result?
Taking a progestogen such as norethisterone should not interfere with a pregnancy test. Most modern pregnancy tests are very sensitive and specific and are not affected by hormonal medication.
