Does Intake Of Norethisterone Cause Recurring Spotting?
Hi i have been taking Norethisterne 5mg 3x a day for about 2 weeks now to delay period as i have a busy couple of months ahead. I also hav the copper coil in as contraceptive but since taking the tablets i have been spotting particularly in the morning but occ throughout the day. Just wondering if this is normal?

Hello,
You are taking norethisterone which is causing you not to have a period. The spotting is showing that your body is ready to have a period but you are not letting it to happen. I can't advice you to take norethisterone without a clear medical condition. You are interfering in your normal cycle so the spotting is normal to happen in this situation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
