Mazal tov on your recent wedding!

The effects of Norethisterone can continue for a few months, potentially causing changes in the menstrual cycle. It does sound sounds as though the effects have now worn off, as you’ve returned to a roughly five-week interval.

It is normal for it to take up to one year for a young couple to conceive. If your cycle continues to be regular (around 5 weeks), you should consult your doctor if you do not become pregnant within a year. If you are over 35, or if your cycles revert to being very prolonged, or if you have other concerns, then you should consult sooner.

Down the road, you may also find it helpful to consult a Yoetzet Halacha Fertility Counselor. (This is a free service, details here.)
