Hi. Norethisterone is basically an analogue of progesterone. These pills disturb the normal balance of estrogen and progesterone in the body. Normal bleeding is sometimes delayed up to 6 MONTHS after discontinuing taking these pills.
its perfectly normal if your bleeding doesn't occur upto 6 months.. This is a side-effect of progesterone analog pills. So, be patient and don't worry if your periods are delayed.

I hope my answer addresses your concerns. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions
