What Causes Vaginal Spotting While On Norethisterone?
Hi I was taking noretiserone to stop a 2 periods over 5 weeks whilst I was on holidays. 3 weeks into taking them I was spotting daily on and off for 2 weeks and sometimes quite heavy but continues to take them. I have now stopped taking them for the last 5 days and still bleeding a lot. Is this normal

Hello,
It is possible with norethisterone to get breakthrough bleeding and very likely this is what is happening in your case.
If the bleeding lasts more than 7-10 days or it is heavy, you will need to see a doctor and make sure you are not developing anemia.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
