I've just realized I took Primolut for five days without knowing I was pregnant. I'm really nervous about whether this could affect my baby. Can you help me understand what to expect?

- taking Primolut (norethisterone) early in pregnancy is unlikely to harm your baby, but it's essential to stop it immediately now that you know. Please consult your OB-GYN for a detailed evaluation and guidance to ensure both your and your baby's health.
