Hello ma'am and welcome.

First of all, the ipill can indeed cause menstrual irregularities and you should be aware of the same before taking medications. Although this menstrual delay is only temporarily and with time it will return to normal. But in addition to the first consumption of the ipill, you took another one on the 9th of December which could have caused a further delay.

Although the action of ipill should have caused a bleed by now, as it hasn't I would recommend a visit to your doctor. Please do not self-medicate. I am sorry I cannot give you the instructions on how to use norethisterone as in such a situation we need to first rule out/confirm pregnancy, and this is best done by a doctor.

Best wishes.
